Ten volunteers worked together stripping Fulda Depot on Saturday, September 14th. The work was being done to prepare for the painting of the Depot which is planned for as soon as weather allows.
Fulda Depot has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979. It is owned by the City of Fulda. The preservation of Fulda Depot is due to the efforts of the Fulda Heritage Society.
The following information is from the forms that were used to apply to have the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Pacific Depot listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
“The Fulda Depot is a frame structure, essentially rectangular in plan. It consists of two principal parts: a two-story section containing waiting room, ticket office, and station agent’s living quarters; and a one-story baggage and freight room. Both sections are covered by gable roofs.
The baggage room is the simpler of the two sections in terms of architectural design. The gable roof is simple with no emphasis placed on the eave area. A wide, paneled door is placed on each of the longitudinal facades, providing access to street and track.
