Clarion also had a Chicago Great Western Railway depot, no longer extant.

[2] In 1903 the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway acquired the BCR&N, and this depot served that railroad.

The single story, Romanesque Revival, brick structure measures 26 by 88.5 feet (7.9 by 27.0 m).

[1] The depot was restored in 1984 and currently serves as the Rock Island Depot Railroad Museum with displays of local and railroad history, and also serves as the office for the Clarion Chamber & Development office.
