Kenwood Depot, originally called South Los Guilucos, was constructed of locally quarried basalt in 1888 at a cost of $11,500. It was the only stone station on the 36.7 mile Northern Pacific Railway line which ran through the Sonoma Valley from Napa Junction to Santa Rosa. From here, great quantities of stone were shipped to San Francisco. The last train to Kenwood from the Bay Area was in 1936. Because of little traffic and the pressure of war the line was abandoned and the rail removed. The depot was purchased in 1940 by the Kenwood Improvement Club.
