When the track of the Northern Pacific reached Missoula in 1883, it was possibly the most significant event in the town’s history. Reliable transportation created a major economic and commercial distribution hub for Western Montana. This third depot building was designed by Reed & Stem, a celebrated architectural firm from St. Paul, Minn., that designed over 100 depots in America, including New York City’s Grand Central Station. This depot is one of four that the firm designed in Montana.
Built in 1901, this National Register building is an architecturally significant example of simplified Renaissance Revival architecture, which represents the historic importance of rail transportation to this city (Missoula Downtown Association). In 1955 The Northern Pacific placed an old train engine on the premises, which still remains today.
