Union Depot
|
|---|
Circa 1912 |
The Union Depot serves as a reminder of the boom Centralia experienced during the early 1900's . Between 1900 and 1914 the population increased almost 400%. By 1914, 44 passenger trains and 17 freight trains passed through Centralia daily. This is the third depot since 1880 and was constructed in 1912. The brick structure is and excellent example of an architectural style of depots in medium sized towns. The fine brick ornamentation, interior woodwork, tiling and oak benches remain intact. Stenciled warnings along the exterior base of the buildings stating "Don's Spit" can still be seen today.
