The Nevada–California–Oregon Railway Passenger Station (also known as the Lakeview Depot) is a historic train station in Lakeview, Oregon, United States. It was built in 1912 by contractor I. A. Underwood from plans by architect Frederic DeLongchamps. It was the northern terminus of the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway. The Southern Pacific Railroad company owned and operated the depot from 1928 until 1975, when it was closed. Since 1978, the building has been used as a law office and later a private residence. Because of its importance to local history, the depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. == History == The town of Lakeview was established in 1876. The community grew slowly because of its isolated frontier location. In May 1900, a large fire destroyed 64 of the town’s 66 buildings, leaving 700 residents homeless. Most of the homes and business structures were replaced by October of that year. Much of the reconstruction was financed by Doctor Bernard Daly, a local physician, banker, and businessman.〔Hanlon, William F., ("Nevada–California–Oregon Railway Passenger Station" ), National Register of Historic Places Inventory – Nomination Form, Statewide Inventory of Historic Sites and Buildings, Oregon State Historic Preservation Office, Salem, Oregon, 5 July 1983.〕〔McArthur, Lewis A. and Lewis L.

In 1912, the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway reached Lakeview, spurring commercial growth in the community.〔〔Cooper, Forest E, ''Introducing Dr. Daly'', Lakeview Historical Society, Maverick Press, Bend, Oregon, 1986, pp. 62–63.〕〔Tonsfeldt, Ward, (''Historical Resource Survey of Lakeview, Oregon'' ), study prepared for the Town of Lakeview Planning Office, Bend, Oregon, 1 August 1989, p. 16.〕〔(“Railroad Depot, Lakeview, Oregon - Train Stations” ), Lake County Museum, information posted on ''www.waymarking.com'' by Volcanoguy, 12 November 2007.〕 In the two years following the arrival of the railroad, over $200,000 was invested in Lakeview’s downtown business area.〔 One of the most important buildings constructed during this period was the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway Passenger Station. The station cost $15,000 to build.〔 It was dedicated on 5 November 1912. The only two local construction projects undertaken during this period that were more costly were the Heryford Brothers Building and Lakeview’s high school building.〔〔(“Lakeview” ), Postcards, Philoxenia Press, Berkeley California, 17 March 2012.〕 In 1928, the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway was acquired by the Western Pacific Railroad, a subsidiary of Southern Pacific. Passenger service to Lakeview was discontinued in 1937. Southern Pacific continued its freight service until 1975, when the depot was closed. Beginning in 1978, the building was leased for use as a law office and residence. After a legal battle over the property’s title, the depot building and approximately of land surrounding it were conveyed to a private owner.〔 The Lakeview Depot is significant because it is an intact example of early 20th century railroad station architecture in eastern Oregon. It is also the only documented example of an Oregon building designed by Frederick J. DeLongchamps. Because of its architectural interest and the important role it played in the commercial development of Lakeview, the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway Passenger Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 22 August 1983. Today, the depot is privately owned. 〔〔(“Nevada–California–Oregon Railway Passenger Station " ), ''Oregon Historic Sites Database'', State Historic Preservation Office, State of Oregon, Salem, Oregon, 11 March 2012.〕〔(“Old Lakeview Train Station” ), ''Oregon Historical County Records Guide'', Oregon State Archives, Oregon Secretary of State, Salem Oregon, 2012.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nevada-California-Oregon Railway Passenger Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
