[3] Like many Santa Fe stations of the time, the first floor was populated by a Harvey House restaurant, which operated until 1931.

Passenger rail service ceased on December 5, 1979 with the discontinuation of Amtrak's Lone Star train.

The railway deeded the depot to the city on October 19, 1981,[4] and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

[4] Currently, the station's first floor is a branch of the Morton Museum of Cooke County, which contains memorabilia for the railroad, Harvey House, Coca-Cola, and the Gainesville Community Circus.

[5] The second floor contains a replica of Harvey House's employee quarters, as well as city offices.
