From the Troutdale Historical Society web site (see link below) - The original 1882 depot burned in 1907. A replacement structure was built in that same year. Indoor restrooms were later added and the trackside bay window altered. Otherwise, the building, which was the shipping site of many carloads of fresh vegetables, is much the same as when it was new. The station agent's office contains railroad artifacts donated by local residents.

The depot was given to Troutdale by Union Pacific Railroad in 1976. It was moved to this location from its original site on the north side of the tracks about two blocks west. The depot is part of Troutdale's Depot Park, which offers access to the Sandy River and Beaver Creek.
