Built in 1909, this building was known as the “Front Door” to the community during a period of growth for Altus. It is officially known as the Wichita Falls and Northwestern Railroad Passenger Depot. It was built in the Prairie School style and little was altered during the major period of use, 1909-1954. It remained in operation until 1973. The depot was listed in the National Register in 2007.
