Description
-
Looking northeast at a three-story building which opened in 1899 at a cost of $75,000.

The depot abutted the busy Creston yards, which had one of the largest roundhouses in the CB&Q system. Today, the first floor houses an art gallery, senior center, and exhibits, while the second floor is reserved for municipal use. The building is located at 200 West Adams Street, Creston, Union County, Iowa, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. 1909 postmark.
