    The tracks of the Weatherford, Mineral Wells & Northwestern Railway reached the town of Mineral Wells in 1891. This depot was built about 1903 to replace an earlier one that had burned. For the next 25 years it primarily served the hundreds of thousands of travelers who visited the town to take advantage of the mineral baths and spas. During World II, the railroad and depot served in the transportation of soldiers to and from nearby Camp Wolters. Outstanding features of the Romanesque revival style depot include its semi-circular arches and curvilinear brackets. (1985)
