The Boulder Railroad Depot is now retired, but was originally built in 1890 in downtown Boulder to serve as a depot for the Union Pacific railroad. The depot was built in a modified Richardson Romanesque style from native Boulder County stone. Operating as a train station at its original location until 1957 when a new depot opened and replaced it.
The depot was purchased by a bus company and it functioned as a bus transit terminal until 1973. The Boulder Jaycees purchased the station in 1973 and moved it to a location near the original Boulder County, Colorado Fairgrounds to save it from being demolished.
The depot moved again In October 2008 by the City of Boulder and the Colorado Regional Transportation District. This time it was moved to the site of a new, transit-oriented development a few city blocks to the east. It’s now located just north of 31st and Pearl Street on Junction Place.
