The Lima Pennsylvania Railroad Passenger Depot (also known as the "Lima Train Station"^[1]) is a historic former train station in Lima, Ohio, United States. Built for the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1887,^[1] it is a brick Queen Anne structure that rests on a sandstone foundation.^[2]

Railroad history

Allen County's first railroad line was built by the Indiana Railroad in 1854 and later subsumed into the Pennsylvania Railroad system.^[3]^: 335 By the early twentieth century, Lima was a transportation center with links to five railroads,^[3]^: 338 and its economy was highly dependent on the industry-leading Lima Locomotive Works.^[4]^: 2 However, the railroad industry in Lima has declined significantly: by the 2000s, the Pennsylvania Railroad station was vacant,^[2] and the former Locomotive Works had deteriorated or been destroyed.^[4]^: 3

Recent history

Unlike much of Lima's railroad-related structures, the Pennsylvania Railroad station has survived in good condition. Its well-preserved historic architecture and its place in local history qualified it for addition to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.^[2] One year later, the station was renovated for adaptive reuse: although a new entrance was added and modern restrooms were attached to the station's rear, its historic integrity was little changed, and the yard surrounding the station was kept in its previous state. Working for a Lima business association, the LJB construction company completed the renovation project in May 2004.^[5] Today, the station is used as the offices of the customer service center for the Lima utilities department.^[6]
