The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Depot in Flora, Illinois, is a historic station built between 1916 and 1917 by architect Frank Nichols. Its design synthesizes Italian Renaissance Revival, Romanesque Revival, and Classical Revival elements, reflecting the architectural eclecticism of early twentieth-century railroad construction. The station became the centerpiece of Flora's economy after its opening, with the B&O Railroad emerging as the town's largest employer and accounting for approximately half its population through the mid-1920s. Beyond operations, the railroad fostered community life by sponsoring a band and baseball teams. Passenger service ceased in 1973, and the station, now surrounded by vacant lots, was recognized with listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
