From Depot to Historic Landmark
The Victorian-style building was erected in 1902 by Southern Pacific Railroad and operated as a bustling and indispensable part of life in Orange until passenger train traffic through the region diminished in the middle of the 20th century. Our organization, The Friends of the Orange Depot, raised the funds to renovate the building and now it proudly displays its historic landmark.
