The Durham & Southern Railway built Varina Station's depot in 1910. After 1914, it served for many years as a union depot for the Durham & Southern and the Norfolk & Southern. J. E. Brown, followed by Katherine Brown, were agents there from 1911 to 1977. The depot closed in 1977. Attempts to preserve the building as a historical site were unsuccessful. The area around Varina Station was the depot's original location. In 2003, Bill Akins purchased the depot, moved it to its current location, and restored it. In 2009, the Varina Station began operating as Aviator Tap House, serving beer brewed in Fuquay-Varina.
