Originally constructed in 1925-1926 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad as the passenger station for the Flagstaff stop, this building was acquired by the City of Flagstaff in 1992 using Bed, Board and Booze tax funds and renovated in 1994 with efforts to protect its architectural integrity. Its paint scheme reflects the station's Southwest heritage and was developed from research and paint analysis of the original construction. The building now serves as the Flagstaff Visitor Center and Amtrak passenger station, with the Amtrak office at the east end representing more than 70 years of rail passenger service there. The Flagstaff Visitor Center, supported solely by City of Flagstaff Bed, Board and Booze tax funds, officially opened on June 23, 1994, and is staffed and managed by the Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce to provide the public with a variety of services for enjoying this part of the world.
