The Union Passenger Depot
A History of the Union Passenger Depot - Then and Now
The Union Passenger Depot was built in 1908-1909 to replace an earlier structure that no longer met the community’s demands It was originally located just south of the Atlantic Coast Line Freight Depot (now Suwannee County Historical Museum). The last railroad service through the Passenger Depot ended in 1971, and the building sat vacant for many years By 1984, the railroad company had decided to tear down the old and abandoned Depot and sell the property a group of local citizens called Pride in Action raised enough money (over $100,000) to purchase and move the Passenger Depot northward between old City Hall and the ACL Freight Depot The move involved cutting the Passenger Depot in half and moving each piece separately – the cut line is still visible The Depot sat unused for a further twenty years, although it changed hands.
