==Description==
Designed by architect Frank Pierce Milburn,〔(Architects and Builders ) Retrieved 2013-01-03.〕 and built in 1910 for the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad, the depot is a one and one-half story brick structure of Italian Renaissance Revival architectural style.〔 The depot contains 14,000 square-feet (1300 square meters) of interior space, including a 4,000 square-foot (372 square meters) waiting room (Grand Hall) for passengers and has been in continuous use since 1910.〔( Hattiesburg Train Depot ) Retrieved 2013-01-02.〕 A loading platform, adjacent to the depot, is covered by a 924-foot (282 meters) canopy.
In 2000, the City of Hattiesburg acquired the depot plus approximately 3 acres (1.2 hectares), surrounding the structure, from Norfolk Southern Railway and began extensive repairs and restoration to convert the facility into an intermodal transportation center for bus and taxi service, in addition to railway.〔〔(Revitalizing America’s Train Stations ) Retrieved 2013-01-03.〕 The 5-year restoration was completed in 2007. Funding for the $10 million renovation came from federal earmarks and grants from state, city, and private organizations.〔( Hattiesburg, Mississippi, a Case Study on Economic Development ) Retrieved 2013-01-03.〕
Besides serving as an intermodal transportation center for the City of Hattiesburg, the depot’s Grand Hall is used for art exhibits, social functions, and private events.〔 The Grand Hall is no longer used for arrivals and departures by rail; a separate waiting area, in the depot, accommodates Amtrak passengers.〔(Amtrak Hattiesburg, MS ) Retrieved 2013-01-04.〕
