Railroad Depot, 1886
<< Back to Virtural Tour
History of the Depot
 The coming of the railroads in
1872 and 1873 established Dallas as a major commercial center and created
the population boom that made Dallas the largest city in Texas in 1890.
This depot, built in 1886 at Fate, Texas, is typical of the board and batten
construction used by the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, better known as
the Katy, during the period.
