Located on the west side of the tracks, east of the downtown area and east of the Okmulgee Creek, this one-story brick depot was constructed in 1911. It is built in the Italian Renaissance Revival style and has a hipped roof covered with clay tile. The west side of the depot, away from the tracks has two hipped dormers.
The building is in disrepair, with all windows boarded up, and portions of the roof caving in. The overhanging eaves are severely rotted. The "Main Street" renovation program which has been responsible for so much rehabilitation in the downtown area has plans for renovating this beautiful depot.
The depot is Item 15 on the District nomination.
