The Chicago, Milwaukee and Pacific Railroad-Albert City Station, also known as the Albert City Depot, was built by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (The Milwaukee Road) in 1899 to serve the farms around Albert City, Iowa.
The railroad built the line from Des Moines to Spencer, Iowa, in 1899 to serve local agriculture.
The depot is rectangular wood-frame building with a two-story section that held the passenger waiting room and station agent's office on the ground floor and the station agent's apartment on the second floor.
In 1977, the depot and the surrounding property were sold to a company that wished to build a grain elevator.
The depot was listed in the National Register of Historic Places due to its association with the development of Albert City.
