AN EXAMPLE OF A STANDARD COUNTY SEAT DEPOT DESIGNED BY THE ATCHISON, TOPEKA & SANTA FE RAILWAY COMPANY, THE NORMAN DEPOT WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1909. BUILT OF BRICK, IT WAS MORE SUBSTANTIAL THAN THE TYPICAL SMALL TOWN DEPOT; THE AT&SF RECOGNIZED THE GROWTH POTENTIAL OF NORMAN AND CONSTRUCTED THIS, THE THIRD DEPOT IN A TOWN THAT THE RAILROAD VIRTUALLY CREATED. THE STATION EXHIBITS A SPANISH MISSION STYLE THAT IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE AT&SF. LISTED IN ANTIONAL REGISTER 1/25/91. |
