Building History
Work on the Northern Pacific's second Ellensburg depot began in 1909, and was delayed twice, first by flooding on the site in 11/1909 and then unexpected labor setbacks during the spring and summer of 1910. The opening was set for 10/31/1910. Projected cost in 1908 for the project stood at $52,000.
Building Notes
This two-story depot had elements of the Spanish Colonial Revival Style, most obviously its scalloped parapets. The Spanish Colonial was a popular style for Western American depots c. 1900-1910, particularly in the Southwest, along the Atcheson, Topeka and Santa Fe and Southern Pacific lines.
