It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022 as the Northern Pacific Depot.

[2] George B. Wright, who developed the city, continued to lobby the Northern Pacific Railway to come here and they arrived in 1882.

A third frame depot was completed the same year and it was destroyed in the 1919 Fergus Falls tornado.

It was a larger facility than any other of the previous depots in Fergus Falls, which suggests the increase in business for the Northern Pacific over the years.

Operations in Fergus Falls were transferred to the former Great Northern Depot, which now houses the Otter Tail Valley Railroad.
