History


The single track railroad line to Pueblo, Colorado was completed by the Santa Fe Railway in 1876.[5] Although the track existed, the depot wasn't built until 1913. The station first opened with both freight and passenger services. The depot was finally closed by the railroad in 1973.[5] The station remained vacant until, in 1976, it was donated to the city of Manzanola. In 1991, a senior center opened in the former waiting room area.[1]


Restoration


Most of the building has been in a steady decline since the donation to the town in 1976.[5] Until 2007, the only part of the station in use was the east side, with a small senior center. With the grand opening in November 2007, the new depot houses the town hall and police department.[6] The construction was done by White Construction Group.[7]
