Owned and maintained by the Punta Gorda Historical Society, the building houses a Black history exhibit and an antique mall.

The second depot, built in 1897, was slightly larger and was located along King Street (which today carries northbound U.S. Highway 41).

It was demolished along with the Coast Line's King Street dock to accommodate the construction of the original Barron Collier Bridge over the Peace River.

The building was eventually purchased by local landowner Fred Babcock, who donated it to the Punta Gorda Historical Society in 1996.

Passengers arrive from Fort Myers and transfer to a bus for a Christmas light boat tour through Punta Gorda Isles.
