Railroad Depot. The facility was originally constructed in 1925-1926 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad as the passenger station for the Flagstaff stop. The City of Flagstaff acquired the building in 1992 using city of Flagstaff Bed, Board and Booze tax funds. The facility was renovated in 1994 with every attempt made to protect the architectural integrity of the building.
