Richmond Railroad Station Historic District

Richmond Railroad Station Historic District is a collection of about 22 buildings scattered across several blocks, ranging from the 1850s through the early 1900s. Most were built to serve the railroad or support the local commerce and business of that era.

The railroad arrived in Richmond in 1851 and sparked rapid growth in this area. A grand train station was built in 1902 as the centerpiece of the district.

The buildings show different architectural styles that grew from the city's railroad expansion. You can see how commerce and industry shaped the character of this part of Richmond.

The district is easy to reach and sits near the main thoroughfares of the city. You can walk through the area and view most buildings from the street.

An Indiana governor connected this place to a major moment in American history when he departed from here for an important journey. This link shows how smaller train stations played roles in large historical events.
