Regarding Paris Train Depot. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The Paris Railroad Depot is a symbol of a way of life that is rapidly disappearing from the American scene. Constructed in the early 1880's, it's a small wooden structure, built in the late American Victorian style. According to records in the possession of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, it was both enlarged and modernized in 1904 and again in 1911. For many years it served as the passenger station for two railroads, the Louisville & Nashville Railroad and the Frankfort and Cincinnati.
