The Baldwin City station, also known as the Santa Fe Depot, stands at 1601 High Street in Baldwin City, Kansas, as a brick exemplar of Prairie School architecture built in 1907. Constructed by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway to replace an inadequate wood frame depot, the station was part of a coordinated building campaign that also saw new depots erected in El Dorado and Argentine, along with a dedicated park across the street. Built following the mayor's advocacy, the depot was completed in January 1907 after construction began the previous July. Located on the Lawrence to Ottawa railway line, the station served passenger trains until the mid-1950s and freight service until roughly a decade later. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and is recognized on the Register of Historic Kansas Places.
