Black Mountain's original depot was rebuilt in 1898 and rebuilt again for the final time in 1909. The depot that still stands was built to plans from the Southern Railway's Washington office that required two waiting rooms, one "White" and one "Colored." Until the mid-1960s, depots and passenger cars in the South were segregated, and "Colored" facilities were typically smaller and offered fewer amenities.
