The Abilene Union Pacific Railroad Freight Depot, completed in 1928 on the southwest corner of Northwest Second Street and North Cedar Street in Abilene, Kansas, exemplifies the Mission Revival style favored for early twentieth-century railroad architecture. Designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood and constructed by G.A. Johnson & Sons in Chicago, the depot blends Mission and Spanish Revival forms with Greek Revival elements. Originally opened in 1929, it served the railroad's freight operations until post-World War II economic shifts rendered it obsolete; Union Pacific sold the building in 1974. After subsequent ownership changes, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 and now operates as a paint and hardware store.
