San Antonio & Aransas Pass Passenger Train Depot

Kerrvillebr/Kerr County, Texasbr/30 03.000' N 99 08.350' Wbr/Directions: Start at the intersection of SH-16 and Schreiner Street. Go 1/2 block west on Schreiner Street. The building is on the left (south) side of the street.br/ br/Text: In 1887, Kerrville was chosen as the last stop on the SAamp;AP Railroad. A wood depot was erected four blocks west of here to accommodate the large influx of travelers and trade. The original depot burned in 1913. Lumberyard owner Frank J. Beitel sold the SAamp;AP a portion of his land for a new depot. The 1915 brick depotrsquo;s design incorporated arched doorways at the main entrance and open-air platform, a central ticket counter, storage and two waiting rooms with wood-burning stoves. Original windows with wavy glass remain. After train service discontinued in 1970, the depot served as a restaurant and retail space for the community.
