train depot
 
If it weren't for the cars in the parking lot, this train depot would look much like it did when constructed in 1925.  Today the Lubbock County Historical Commission held its meeting here.  The dilapidated train deport was purchased in 2011 and relocated to Wolfforth, undergoing renovations but maintaining its heritage.  It is an excellent example of alternative use historical buildings as it currently serves as the business offices for the Lubbock and West Texas Railway.  The depot was built according to Southern Pacific's Standard Plan #3 dictating the floor plan and layout of the waiting room, agent's office and freight room -- down to the paint colors of colonial yellow and bronze green with red roof.
