-401 S 3rd - St. Joseph Branch Railway, ...
This structure was built in 1897 as the Kansas City and Council Bluffs Railroad General Office and Freight Depot.
The price listed on the building permit was $2,200. This building has the massing and roof line and detail of the contemporary Shingle Style and the decorative restraint and deep soffit of the Prarie Style. Its Eclectic styling would contribute strongly to the establishment of a historic district in this area of high-quality 19th and early 20th Century commercial buildings.
The St. Joseph Branch Railway was incorporated September 16, 1905, under the general laws of Missouri, to construct and operate a standard-gage railroad from a point on the Missouri River in Buchanan County, Mo., opposite Atchison, Kansas, thence in an easterly direction through St. Joseph, Mo., about 26 miles. The date of the organization was not determined.
The building still exists in 2019
