Fort Harrison Terminal Station is a former train depot in Lawrence Township, Indiana, now operating as a restaurant. The structure consists of a one-story brick building with a double-pitched hipped roof and metal roofing, located at Building 616 within the historic Fort Benjamin Harrison grounds.
The building was constructed in 1908 to serve the Union Traction Company and operated as a depot through 1941. After that year, it was converted to a United States Post Office and served that function before its later conversion to its current use.

The building is accessible on the Fort Benjamin Harrison grounds and maintains its original exterior structure. Visitors should note that the building functions as an operating restaurant and is located within a specific area of the site.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, documenting its transformation from a working depot to postal facility. This recognition highlights how the site helps preserve local transportation history.
