East of the station on another railroad line through Temple, a former Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad depot can be found. The first depot in Temple was in a boxcar. Later a two story depot was built. In 1898 a Harvey House was built next to the depot. The current station was opened on January 29, 1911.
