Dothan station


The Dothan station, also known as Atlantic Coastline Railroad Passenger Depot, is a historic train station in Dothan, Alabama, United States. It was built in 1907 as the largest and busiest on the Atlantic [Coast Line Railroad] between Montgomery, Alabama, and Thomasville, Georgia and replaced a former freight depot. The Atlantic Coast Line merged with the Seaboard [Air Line Railroad] in 1967 to form the Seaboard [Coast Line Railroad]. In 1971, Amtrak took over passenger rail service in the United States and Dothan station was served by the Floridian until 1979.
The depot is two stories, with a one-story portion on the western third. The first story's hipped roof wraps around the entire building, and has deep eaves supported by large brackets. All windows are two-over-two sashes with heavy granite sills and lintels. Double-leaf doors with transoms led to the two waiting rooms. The track side has a projecting bay that served as the ticketing window.
The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
