History

Originally known as the Glendale Southern Pacific Railroad Depot, it was built by the Southern Pacific Railroad in the California Churrigueresque style of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in 1923. It had replaced the Atwater Tract Office dating from 1883. The city bought the depot from Southern Pacific in 1989 and acquired adjacent properties to create an intermodal center.[3] Restoration of the historic building and the construction of other elements of the intermodal center cost approximately $6 million.[4]

In May 1997, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has recently^[when?] undergone an extensive renovation.^{[citation needed]}

Until April 25, 2005, the station was also served by Amtrak's Coast Starlight route.[5]
