The narrow gauge Texas & St. Louis (Cotton Belt) Railroad arrived in Pittsburg in 1880 after William Harrison Pitts, founder of Pittsburg, donated land for a railroad depot in 1875. The depot on this site, the second built here, was completed in 1901 and served the railroad until 1968, although passenger service ended in 1946. It is a good local example of Victorian-era design with influences of the Queen Anne style, featuring dormers on the side facades, two internal end chimneys rising from the gable roof, and an attached frame freight depot.
