The Colorado & Southern Railroad first came through the Westminster area in 1881. The train stop was known as DeSpain Junction, in honor of the first homesteaders. Edward Bowles, the second settler to live here, donated money to build this Folk Vernacular style depot. The depot located near 72nd & Bradburn Boulevard was torn down in the late 1960s.

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION
The wood-framed Depot shows symmetrical windows and a rectangular shape common to Folk Vernacular. The building's most interesting feature is the roof . The steeply pitched pyramid shape, with the eyebrow dormers (small windows on the roof) suggests the Victorian Shingle style.
