Berea Depot is a former railway station in Berea, Kentucky. The Kentucky Central Railroad acquired the site and built a small wooden station in 1883.[1] Demolition of the old depot began in February 1905, with a new expanded building constructed that year.[2] The modern brick depot is the third on the site and was built in 1917.[1][3] Passenger service ended on March 7, 1968. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 22, 1975, and subsequently purchased by the City of Berea.[1] The depot building was renovated in the early 1980s by the non-profit group Marketing Appalachia's Traditional Community Handicrafts (MATCH), who opened a shop in an addition to the original station building.[4]
