The Depot Historic District is an industrial and commercial neighborhood in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina that was the city's railroad and warehouse distribution hub from the 1850s to 1950s.
The district encompasses the southwestern portion of Raleigh's original 1792 town plan and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
[2] Nash Square, one of four parks in the city's original plan, is located on the northern edge of the Depot District.
The square's Beaux-Arts walkways and gates offer a stark contrast to the surrounding industrialism.
Warehouse, factories, commercial buildings, and parking lots are located between Nash Square and the railroad tracks.
