Burton Depot
Burton began as
a terminal on the Houston & Texas Central Railroad in 1870. A depot,
built that year, burned in 1898 and was replaced by this structure.
Built according to standard plans of the Southern Pacific Railroad
(which absorbed the Houston & Texas Central), it exhibits elements
of the Queen Anne and Italianate styles. Outstanding features include
wide overhanging eaves and "sunburst" gable windows typical in Southern
Pacific structures.
