Notes

Photograph of 200 S. Crockett taken from the road. Photo was taken for the Historic Resources Survey of Palestine, Texas 1989-1991. This building, with Stick Style architectural elements, is typical of the kind of depots railroads erected during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A systematic statewide survey of these kinds of properties has not been completed, but most appear to have been razed or moved to sites away from their original locations adjacent to railroad tracks. Although the railroad played such a pivotal role in Palestine’s development, no other historic railroad-related buildings survive in the city.

This was not the depot that was in Palestine. This depot was moved from Neches to a park area located at 200 S. Crockett Road in Palestine and moved once again in the summer of 2004 to the corner of Spring Street and W. Oak Street. It now serves as the Tourism Office.

This picture was taken when the depot was still located at 200 S. Crockett Road.
