It also represents Pacific Electric's rural station type, with clean lines, arches and an espadaña parapet. The building retains very high integrity of location, materials and feeling.","narrative":"Along the former Pacific Electric right-of-way in Rancho Cucamonga, this single-story depot served passengers and freight on the railway's rural line. Designed by architect Irving Gill, it measures 123 by 26 feet and was built of tilt-up concrete, a method Gill helped pioneer. The Mission Revival design features Roman arches, engaged columns with pyramidal caps, and an espadaña parapet on the south façade, with little ornament beyond cast \"PE\" logo tiles. Inside, the rooms include a passenger portico and waiting room, toilets, an agent's office, and baggage and freight rooms. Original wood windows and doors, a ticket window and counter, and red-tinted concrete floors survive. The depot sits on its original site, and a freight spur, trolley wire poles and a motor truck scale remain nearby. It was listed for its architectural importance as an intact Gill work and a Pacific Electric station. The building has been vacant since 2002, and the city has pursued its restoration.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Irving Gill (architect)","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals/Mission Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Vacant since the last tenant, a lumber yard, left in 2002; the City of Rancho Cucamonga began documentation and restoration in 2004.
