In August, 1898, The St. Paul Globe reported the Northern Pacific Railway’s new depot and office building would replace a framed freight depot built in the 1870’s, which was destroyed by fire in 1898. The depot’s Spanish Mission Revival architecture featured a center façade flanked by towers 13 feet square, originally domed and crowned by louvered cupolas with bellcast roofs and finials, which were replaced by simple peaked tile roofs in 1954, producing the effect of Tuscan campaniles. The main entrance's portico featured six concrete Tuscan columns. . .
