About this property

The Utah Southern Railroad Depot, located at 225 East State Street in Lehi, Utah, United States was built in c.1873. It has also been known as Oregon Short Line Railroad Depot, as Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Depot, and as Union Pacific Railroad Depot.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1994. The depot is a plain two-story wooden structure, but as of its NRHP nomination, it was significant as "one of only two remaining depots from the earliest decade of Utah's railroad history. In operation as a railroad depot for 100 years (it closed in 1973), the depot also served as a telegraph office and dancehall." It is "the second oldest standing depot west of the Mississippi [River]". National Register of Historic Places listings in Utah County, Utah Utah Southern Railroad Depot - Lehi, Utah - Waymarking
