Contents
The depot was built in the Romanesque style popular at the end of the 19th century. It features red brick with dark stone trim for the base, water table, lintels and trim around the doors. A solid round tower with conical roof marks the southern end of the building. The building’s original layout incorporated a ticket office, baggage room, and separate waiting areas for men and for women and children.
In 2002, the D&H conveyed ownership of the depot to the Village of Rouses Point for $5,000. A rehabilitation project was completed in 2014 and included rehabilitation and/or replacement of rotting woodwork, flashing on the roof, flooring, broken windows and insulation. The depot now serves as the Rouses Point History and Welcome Center and hosts rotating exhibits, lectures and performances tracing the history and culture of the region.
