Though the height of its use as a depot lasted just sixteen years, the building remains an excellent example of an early twentieth-century live-in depot -- that is, a railroad depot with a kitchen, parlor, and bedrooms for travelers -- and was an important part of the area's development. Today the building houses the Broomfield Depot Museum, which is in dire need of repair in order to appropriately house its artifact collection.  For example, the south-facing original wood paneled door has deteriorated to the point where daylight creeps through parts of the door panel. This History Colorado State Historical Fund grant will fund window, door, siding, and trim rehabilitation to keep this rare Broomfield building extant and its collections protected.
