There are a number of depots in North Carolina that fit the model that you are speaking of. Rocky Mount is both an active Amtrak station and a multi-use building, with the Chamber of Commerce, local transit, the ACL-SAL Historical Society and several offices housed there. Going to the North Carolina site within www.rrshs.org<http://www.rrshs.org/> will lead you to them.

  Subject: (rshsdepot) seeking information


  Hello,

   

  I am currently working on a planning project for the depot in Duluth,
  Minnesota. As part of this project, I am researching other depots around
  the country. 

   

  I am specifically looking for depots that have been restored and are
  being used for multiple purposes. The Duluth Depot is used for a
  railroad museum, children's museum, historical exhibits, community
  theater and office space as well as special events. I would like to
  identify other depots that have similar uses.

   

  Additionally, I am looking for information on management structures. Are
  there depots with multiple organizations involved in its operation,
  fundraising, etc.? The Duluth Depot is owned by the county, managed by
  an in-house organization (Historic Union Depot) and financially
  supported in part by a "friends" group - the Depot Foundation. Again, I
  am looking for similar examples to learn more about suggested
  communication/management structures.

   

  If you have examples and would be willing to share additional
  information - or provide an appropriate contact person, please contact
  me by return email. Thank you for your help!
