The site was located just outside the original city in an area that was considered useless swampy land.

The railroad vacated the building in 1975 and it sat empty for many years.

The Valentino Family purchased the building and began renovation in 2004.

The front of the building retained station's 1904 classic architecture.

The building now houses a visitor center, small museum, event venue, offices for their hotel business as well as several other tenants.
