History

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) built the depot in 1907. The station's elevation is 3,335 feet (1,017 m) above sea level. The station has been a contributing property to the Kingman Commercial Historic District, which has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986.^[2] Like many depots constructed by the ATSF, the building exhibits characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture, particularly in the roofline's curvilinear gables.^[6] In early 2011, the city of Kingman finished a multi-year restoration of the depot. The work was funded in part through a $471,500 federal Transportation Enhancements grant and approximately $150,000 in federal Community Development Block Grants.^[6] Following the rehabilitation, the depot houses a passenger waiting room and a railroad museum.^[7]

The depot is the third station in Kingman, and is built of poured concrete. The first station was destroyed by fire, as was the 1901-built "fire proof" one, which burned to the ground in 1906.^[8]

It is served by Amtrak's Southwest Chief's 2,256 miles (3,631 km) route from Chicago, Illinois, to Los Angeles, California, with one eastbound and one westbound stop daily.^[9]
