The roadside stories worth pulling over for.
In July 1872 the Houston & Texas Central became the first railroad to reach Dallas. This frame depot was constructed for the H. & T.C. and the Texas & New Orleans in 1903, when both lines were part of the Southern Pacific system. Originally located on Eakin Street (1.25 mi. W), this structure served as a passenger station until 1918 and as yardmasters office until 1963. Threatened with demolition, it was then moved to this site. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1979
