In addition to handling passengers and freight, this depot also served as the station agent’s residence.  A prominent bay window located in the office area provided the agent with an unobstructed view of the track in both directions.  With minor exceptions, the interior of the depot retains its original layout and materials.  Although moved from its original track side location by the Kit Carson Historical Society for use as a museum when threatened with demolition in 1969, it remains architecturally important as the most intact Colorado example of this depot type.
