1. Mammoth Spring Depot Marker
Brick walkways were a common feature of Victorian era train depots, as were slate roofs and the diamond-shaped panes of the dormer windows. Another interesting feature was the extra-deep eaves, built to shelter passengers and freight from the elements.
As you walk around the building, notice the capitals atop the columns in the breezeway. The capitals contain unique animal figures symbolizing creatures native to the Mammoth Spring area.
