Joplin Union Depot
Historical Train Station in Downtown Joplin
Marketing description
On June 30, 1911, Joplin Union Depot opened to the public. The depot serviced the Kansas City Southern, Missouri-Kansas-Texas and Santa Fe Railroads, and allowed the already growing Joplin area to flourish. On November 3, 1969, the last train departed the depot and for over fifty years the building has remained vacant. Since 1972, groups have proposed alternate use.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources, State Historic Preservation Office has owned the building since 1998 with hopes of finding a buyer who will rehabilitate the structure. Supporters hope that listing the Joplin Union Depot as a Place in Peril will raise awareness of the property’s availability and help find a developer to restore this important piece of Joplin’s history.
The Depot was added to the National Historic Registry in 1973 and is eligible to receive State and/or Federal Historic tax credits.
The Union Depot is a reinforced concrete structure and contains approximately 22,640 square feet of usable space within the entry level, the second floor, and basement. It sits on 3.6 acres and was designed by Louis Curtiss, a well known architect from Kansas City.
