In July 1872 the Houston and Texas Central became the first railroad to reach Dallas. This frame depot was reconstructed from H T C and the Texas and New Orleans in 1903, when both lines were part of the Southern Pacific system. Originally located on Eakin street this structure served as a passenger station until 1918 and a yardmasters office until 1963. Threatened with demolition it was then moved to this site.
