The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Freight Depot is a cast-stone rectangular building constructed between 1887-1943. The building has a stepped brick parapet above the gable roof. The freight depot is important for its connection with the development of Atchison as a regional railroad hub. The CB&Q began in Atchison around 1867. The depot was constructed during the biggest growth in Kansas railway systems.
