The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway arrived on the north side of San Angelo in 1888 from Ballinger. Its second passenger station on the site is this California Mission–styled structure of white stucco with a red tile roof, the Santa Fe’s corporate style. Only the two towers bracketing a curved Alamo parapet and the arcaded front porch remain of the original station; the rest of the building is new. The station was closed in 1929, when the Santa Fe’s passenger and administration operations were moved to the larger Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Passenger Station (SS20), and then was partially demolished in 1947. Since 2004, the depot has been the home of the Diocese of San Angelo Catholic Outreach Services and Gift Shop. Several new commercial buildings north of the tracks, notably the San Angelo Transportation Center (2012, Schwarz-Hanson Architects) mimic the depot’s Mission style, creating a pseudo-historic ensemble. With railroad passenger stations at its north and south ends, Chadbourne Street became San Angelo’s business and commercial main street, bypassing the government axis of Irving Street a block to the west.
