It is a Spanish Colonial Revival building of about 3,500 square feet.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the depot is an outstanding small-depot example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and one of the finest buildings in Claremont. It was a focal point of the town's 1920s growth and served the colleges and citrus industry. It is also the last tangible link to Claremont's railroad history.","narrative":"Claremont's railroad depot at 110 West First Street was built in 1927 for the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad. It is a Spanish Colonial Revival building with stucco walls, a red tile roof and a two-story, 35-foot central tower decorated in Churrigueresque style. One-story wings hold a Moorish-arched waiting area and the ticket and baggage rooms. It was the third depot in Claremont, replacing an 1887 station. Its construction coincided with the town's shift from rural community to small city and with the growth of the colleges and citrus industry. The railroad's architectural staff designed it, with Sumner Sellit Co. of Los Angeles also named. The depot closed in 1967 and later suffered vandalism and a fire, though its structure and exterior features survive. A 1980s development plan proposed restoring it as a restaurant. It is described as Claremont's last tangible link to its railroad past.","period_of_significance":"1927","architect_builder":"Sumner Sellit Co., Los Angeles, ATSF staff","architectural_style":"Spanish Colonial Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Closed by the railroad in 1967, vandalized and stripped of wiring, plumbing and heating in 1968; the structure and exterior features remain intact.
