El Paso and Southwestern Railroad and Freight Depot

Written By Preservation Texas

This 1903 Italianate terminal, designed by Daniel H. Burnham and built by the Phelps-Dodge Company, allowed merchants to load, unload or store freight shipped on the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad.

Not only is this building listed as a local historic landmark for its historical significance, but its nationally known architect also designed Union Station in Washington, D.C. and the El Paso Union Depot. The building is threatened by neglect and vandalism.

UPDATE: The El Paso & Southwestern Railroad and Freight Depot was remodeled in 2020 by the Santamaria-Rogers Family. Today the building serves as an event venue called St. Rogers Depot.
