Celebrated architect Frank E. Edbrooke, who also design Denver’s Brown Palace Hotel, drew plans for the depot and began construction in 1908.  A year later, the completed building and subsequent arrival of the railroad transformed Yampa Valley into a major cattle shipping center. This year the City of Steamboat Springs will use SHF funding to complete second phase rehabilitation, including foundation repairs and installation of a new, historically appropriate roof.
