Fredericktown Missouri Pacific Railroad Depot - Fredericktown, Missouri - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Fredericktown Missouri Pacific Railroad Depot, Fredericktown, Madison County, Missouri, is a one-story rectangular brick building with a low-pitched hipped roof extending over passenger waiting areas at both ends of the long axis. Constructed in circa 1917, the Fredericktown Depot occupies its original trackside location at 406 Villar Street, north of the town square. With its low-pitched hipped roof with widely overhanging eaves supported by large curvilinear brackets, the depot reflects modest Prairie School and Bungalow/Craftsman influences. Details of the symmetrical, low-slung building-based on a standardized railroad depot plan of the period-include a projecting dispatcher's bay which flows upward into a decorative hipped dormer, limestone trim, and tile-like roofing resembling the original material. The combination interior, consisting of a waiting room and baggage room flanking an office for the ticket agent or dispatcher, is largely unchanged. The depot is well preserved and retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association." - National Register Nomination

The depot since its closing had been used for several years by an aviation museum however the museum has closed. At this time the depot is vacant and not in use.
