Railroad Depot
Built 1907 Kingman's early existence depended upon the railroad. The town's role as a shipping and commerce center was enhanced by the building of a modern, large depot during the first decade of the 20th century. The depot was built in the Mission Revival style of concrete and stucco. The curvilinear parapet, open overhanging eaves treatment, and plain stuccoed walls are common to the Mission Revival style.
