The depot served the Atlantic & Yadkin Railway, part of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway and the “Mountain-to-Sea Railway.” Built in 1887 just southeast of Rhondan Road, it handled passengers, mail, freight, express shipments, and telegrams, and it was an integral part of Summerfield Proper history as the first station stop north of Greensboro before it was demolished circa the early 1950s.
