Richardson Romanesque style from native Boulder County stone. The depot operated as a train station at its original location until 1957, after which point it functioned as a bus transit terminal. It functioned as a bus terminal until its move, after which time it became home to the Boulder Jaycees.On the night of Oct 1st 2008, and through midday of Oct 2nd 2008, the City of Boulder and the Colorado
Regional Transportation District moved the depot again, this time to the site of a new, transit-oriented development a few city blocks to the east.External links
