The Santa Fe Depot was built in 1915 by the Santa Fe Railway Company, and used until 1953 when passenger traffic ended. It is a 100’X20’ red brick building. The oldest section of the building is a frame structure, built soon after the rail line was completed in March 1900. Originally, a 20’ x 75’ building served as both freight office and passenger depot. There was an open air passenger waiting area on the north end of the building, but is now enclosed and covered.[1][2]

The building is now owned by and serves as the national headquarters for Kappa Kappa Psi & Tau Beta Sigma.[3]
