Quick Facts General information, Location ...

Constructed for the Southern Railway in 1910, the red brick station was built to replace an earlier depot damaged by a tornado in 1903.[2] Norfolk Southern, successor of Southern Railway, uses most of the building as office space. The passenger waiting area is open for an hour before and an hour after trains arrive.[2] The station is currently also used by a local chapter of the Fraternal Order of Eagles.[3]
