The Tennessee Historical Commission is adding The Carolina, Clinchfield  & 
Ohio Railroad Station to the National Register of Historical Places. The  
National Register of Historic Places is the nation’s official list of cultural  
resources worthy of preservation. The rail station and depot is one of seven  
Tennessee additions. 
 
The Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Railroad Station and Depot hosts a  brick 
building constructed in 1908. It consist of two structures- a one story  freight 
depot and a two-story passenger station. 
 
The structure sits between the commercial and warehouse districts in  Johnson 
City. A private owner is rehabilitating the building, but it maintains  its 
historic integrity. There are indications that the building served  passengers 
until 1955. It was also used for railroad offices until the 1970s. 
 
 The other six sites recognized include:

*Cleveland Southern Railway Depot* 
 
Built circa 1911, the Cleveland Southern Railway Depot in Cleveland  (Bradley 
County) is a noteworthy representation of the important role railroads  
played in the community.  As in many Tennessee communities, the depot was  the 
center of industrial and commercial development.  Until 1970, the  Cleveland 
Southern Railway Depot continued to be used for passengers, and  freight was 
handled here until 2004.  For most of its life, the depot was  the primary way to 
get goods and people in and out of Cleveland.  With few  exterior changes to the 
brick building, its interior has been modified over the  years.  The 
Southeast Tennessee Human Resources Agency purchased the depot  and plans to return 
the building to its original transportation use by  converting it to a bus 
transit station.
