The
Cleveland Depot
Four railroad depots have operated here since Cleveland was incorporated
in 1886. The first depot - two Yazoo & Mississippi Valley RR cars tied
together and parked on a side track - disappeared when a prankster hooked it to
an outgoing train. A temporary depot was used until 1896 when a larger,
wooden building was constructed. This depot burned in 1914 but was
replaced the following year by the Illinois Central Railroad. The present
structure, renovated in 2003 incorporates a portion of the 1915 depot. ~
