History
The depot was built in 1875; it was moved in 1970 a few blocks from its original location. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1] It was built by Benjamin Hammar (interred in the Castle Rock cemetery), who also built the original Denver Union Terminal in downtown Denver.[2] The museum includes original ink and watercolor architectural drawings by the unknown architect of the building.[2] It has elements of Victorian style and was built of rhyolite stone from Castle Rock quarries. It is "one of Colorado's older original buildings".[2] It is a "rare example of a stone depot constructed by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad."[3] It is a one-and-a-half-story building, 24 by 40 feet (7.3 m × 12.2 m) in plan.[2]
