The Fullerton Union Pacific Railroad Depot is a free standing, one story, wood frame structure built in 1923. It is an excellent example of the Mission Revival Style, typical of Union Pacific Depots from this era. The contrast between the two slightly offset 100' x 30' rectangular segments clearly defines the separation of passenger and freight functions. It has been moved approximately 200 yards from its original site; although it still maintains a relationship to the railroad tracks, it has been turned 90° on its new site. It is being renovated for restaurant use in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.(Submitted on February 28, 2024.)
