Constructed in 1918 as a combined passenger and freight depot, this building displayed Florence on the track side and the railroad's name on the street side. It was dedicated on July 5, 1918, with 300-400 people attending, and remained in railroad use until 1968, when through passenger service via the Royal Gorge had been discontinued. The structure was then donated to the City of Florence. In 1970, the open west section of the building was enclosed, and the east section was enclosed in 1979. At that time, the Florence Council on Aging was incorporated and began using the facility as Florence Senior Center. In 2009, grants and donations made it possible to purchase the building from the City of Florence, and it was eventually renamed Florence Senior Community Center.
