Construction on the Halstead Railway Station was completed in 1917 at an approximate cost of $25,000. It was the fourth depot building to serve the city of Halstead. The Halstead Independent noted at the time that "the Santa Fe [Railroad] has provided Halstead with the most modern station that can be built...with steam heating, electric lights, toilets, sewer facilities...it is a station capable of meeting the needs of a town 10 times our size." The Halstead Depot ceased rail operations in the early 1970's. In 1988 the Santa Fe Railway sold the building for demolition. |
