Lynch's railroad depot was finished in 1925 and was one of the town's few brick structures because the stone quarries had closed by then. It was a busy station, serving two passenger trains daily through the forties and then one train a day until the L&N Railroad discontinued passenger service to Lynch on January 1, 1956. The building was then converted to a central warehouse, and after the closing of the 31 mine, it was converted into a bathhouse.
