Marker Text: This depot was built by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1928 as part of its extension into the Rio Grande Valley. A fine example of Spanish colonial revival architecture, the depot features a tile roof, arcades, curvilinear parapets, and other ornamentation common to that style. The structure was used as a passenger depot until 1952. It now serves as a reminder of the railroad's impact on the development of Brownsville and the lower Rio Grande Valley. (1985)
Location: Historic Brownsville Museum, 641 East Madison Street, Brownsville.
