L&N seemed to build rather elaborate depots compared to the size of the town.

Columbia Tenn., 8/13/85.
Rod Clark: I was in the building in the mid 90's, and it was in really bad shape inside. Totally gutted. Whoever bought it and fixed back up sunk a lot of money into it.

Columbia Tennessee (L&N station, now looks better)
Kenton Dickerson: Served both L&N and NC&StL.
Dennis DeBruler: Kenton Dickerson Thanks. I've seen some sources call it a Union Station. But every map I've looked at has just L&N.
Jason Whipp: Dennis DeBruler N&D, NF&S, and NC&StL all met there. |

Did some rich person restore the building to dislay their antique collection?
If the building is not going to be used as an event space, then this room would hold a fantastic model railroad.

Today Monty’s Histerical Marker admired a very BEAUTIFUL building in Columbia, TN. This is The Union Station (Railway Depot) located at 211 Depot St. in The Arts District. It was built in 1902 by L& N Railroad and opened in 1903. It was recognized as an historic site and placed on The National Registry of historic places in 1986. Union Station was recognized for “Ten in Tennessee” a list of endangered properties.
This Train Depot was a hub for passenger, mail and freight. In 1961 passenger travel to Lewisburg and Fayetteville ended train travel between these communities. The last passenger train left this station on Dec. 7, 1954, total train operations ended in 1966. President Howard Taft, General John Pershing, and Buffalo Bill visited this station, along with many soldiers leaving and returning from war. Both steam and diesel powered trains frequently made stops here.
Built using brick, limestone and wood at the time it was built for the cost of $200,000. In the 1970’s-1980’s it was an apartment complex and in 2010 it was restored. This is privately owned so please admire from a distance while visiting the lovely businesses in The Arts District.
Don’t just Travel Tennessee…EXPERIENCE TENNESSEE!!!
