(KMZA)--The Marysville Union Pacific Depot is nominated to the National Register of Historic Places.
The depot, which stands adjacent to the former railyards on 7th Street, just two blocks north of Marysville's downtown business district, is among seven other Kansas locales nominated for the register.
That happened with a vote August 13th during the quarterly meeting of the Historic Sites Board of Review, in Topeka.
The Union Pacific Depot is cited as significant based on what the board says is its association with the growth and development of Marysville.
It was designed by California architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood, from 1928 through 1929, and continued to be used for railroad offices once regular passenger train service was suspended in 1955.
Union Pacific planned to demolish the one-story, steel-framed structure in 2015, but was halted through the efforts of the City of Marysville and the Union Pacific Depot Preservation Society.
All of the nominations are forwarded to the Office of the Keeper of the National Register in Washington D.C., where staff members will make their evaluations.
