Santa Rosa Depot - Santa Rosa, CA - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

"It was built in 1904, on the Northwestern Pacific Railroad line, to replace another depot which had burnt down. As well as being steeped in history, this particular building also enjoys an aura of glamour. It appeared in one of the classics of American cinema: Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt , which was shot on location in Santa Rosa. The legendary director called this his favorite film of all the ones he ever made. In it, Santa Rosa serves as the archetype of the idyllic, peaceful, all-American small town.

As the rising popularity of automobiles ended society’s reliance on the “iron horse,” the depot shut down and remained abandoned for many years. But, recently, it was renovated and is welcoming travelers once again as the site for the Santa Rosa Convention and Visitors Bureau and the California Visitors Center." (visit link)
