The Grand Junction train depot, which opened in 1906, has been gutted of much of its furniture, but it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The new owner, Valerie Pearson of Texas, says she hopes “it can be restored to its original splendor.”

New owner of depot open to ideas for use

Valerie Pearson of Texas purchased the more-than-century-old building in October.
