In addition, the depot functioned as a social center for the town and was the site of numerous business transactions. The depot closed in 1955 when passenger service on the line ended. After the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad threatened to demolish the station, the village bought the building in 1982. The village restored the depot using donations from local residents, and after completing the restoration in 1986, the Village Hall was moved to the depot. The depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 6, 1986. (en) |
