Illinois Central Railroad Freight Depot (Bloomington, Indiana)
The Illinois Central Railroad Freight Depot is a historic train station in downtown Bloomington, Indiana, United States. Constructed in the early twentieth century, it has endured closure and a series of modifications to survive to the present day, and it has been declared a historic site. Used only occasionally for many years, it is one of the most important buildings in a large historic district on the city's west side.
==History==
By the 1890s, the Monon Railroad was serving Bloomington and operating maintenance shops on the city's southern side.〔(Monon ), Bloomington Historic Preservation Commission, n.d. Accessed 2011-10-25.〕 In 1902, desiring service from a second railroad, Bloomington and Perry Townships offered a large cash bonus to whichever company would add a second rail line in the city. Four years later, Illinois Central Railroad took up the offer, and upon finishing its route into the city, it decided to erect a station dedicated to freight traffic.〔Boruff, Katherine, and Candy Bonus. ''National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Illinois Central Railroad Freight Depot''. National Park Service, 1980-04.〕 Designed by the railroad's staff architects, it is a simple building without unneeded elements; its architecture was determined by the features that the railroad needed to operate a train station.〔 From its earliest years, the depot played an important part in the development of Bloomington's heavy industries: many limestone mills and the large Showers Brothers furniture factory were located in its immediate vicinity.〔Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory. ''City of Bloomington Interim Report''. Bloomington: City of Bloomington, 2004-04, 19-20.〕
At the time of construction, the depot was a simple rectangle, long and wide. It was greatly expanded in 1922 by the addition of a second story to much of the building. The northernmost portion of the building was removed in 1959, because falling freight traffic no longer required such a large building.〔 After closing in 1963,〔 the depot became a bar and grill restaurant; the restaurant later closed, leaving the building vacant,〔 although another restaurant, Macri's at the Depot, opened inside by 2012.〔(Contact Us ), Macri's at the Depot, 2012. Accessed 2012-12-17.〕
