About Burton Depot
Burton Depot originated as a terminal stop on the Houston and Texas Central Railroad established in 1870. The original depot burned in 1898 and was replaced by the present structure, built to standard plans of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which had absorbed the line. It combined Queen Anne and Italianate design elements typical of Southern Pacific depots.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Burton Depot
Burton began as a terminal on the Houston & Texas Central Railroad in 1870. A depot, built that year, burned in 1898 and was replaced by this structure. Built according to standard plans of the Southern Pacific Railroad (which absorbed the Houston & Texas Central), it exhibits elements of the Queen Anne and Italianate styles. Outstanding features include wide overhanging eaves and "sunburst" gable windows typical in Southern Pacific structures. Source: https://atlas.thc.texas.gov/Details/5477008316
