The Rock Island Passenger Station in Waurika, Oklahoma, is a Tudor Revival structure built in 1912 by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, opening for service on August 20 of that year. The depot was also served by the Wichita Falls and Oklahoma Railway beginning in 1923, when that subsidiary of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad extended its tracks to the town. The station operated as a working railway facility until 1980 and was transferred to the city in 1984. Between 1987 and 1990, the building underwent rehabilitation to transform it into a community space. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 2002.
