Moffat Station - Denver, CO - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

"Actually a remnant of the Moffat depot -- the freight section formerly to the right burned years ago. David H. Moffat's latecomer railroad, the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific was denied access to (or priced out of) Union Station, so the road operated out of this station a few blocks away. The building was designed by Edwin Moorman and built in 1906. Style is said to be Georgian Revival. It became redundant when the Denver & Salt Lake (successor to the DNW&P) was acquired by the Denver & Rio Grande Western in 1947." (from (visit link) )

"The Historic Moffat Station was designed by Denver architect Edwin Moorman. Moffat Station is a wonderful example of Georgian Revival Architecture. It is only one of two remaining original railroad terminals in Denver. Located in the Historic Lodo Neighborhood of Riverfront, near the rail yards at 2105 15th street, Moffat Station was built by Denver businessman David Moffat in 1902. Moffat had dreams of building the first railway line directly from Denver to Salt Lake City. The Denver, Northwestern and Pacific Railroad line to Salt Lake City never became a reality, but Moffat did link a large portion of northwestern Colorado to Denver. Denver's Union Station remained the main rail station in Denver and still is today." (from (visit link) )
