Las Animas Depot
Built in 1908, the Las Animas depot is a
good intact example of the Santa Fe
Railroad's Brick Standard Plan depot
design frequently erected in Kansas and
Colorado in the first decade of the 20th
century. The depot is slightly different in
that the front bay window Is rectangular
instead of half-hexagonal. The rear of the
depot features a "carriage porch." It is
associated with both passenger and freight
railroad transportation. It is owned by the
BNSF Railroad and has been leased to
Bent County for the past three years.
