Caption: Marker detail: Market Square, circa 1873
Additional Description: In 1868 the B&MR and CB&Q built the first Union Depot at the location of this display known as Market Square. The above view taken in 1873 or 1874 shows the original two-story depot in the foreground. It was by then used for baggage and express. A new single story depot behind the first depot included an addition for a hotel and dining room facilities. Note the footbridge on the sidewalk. The new depot at that time was built over Hawkeye Creek.
