The Creston Municipal Complex, also known as the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad-Creston Station is an historic building located in Creston, Iowa, United States. It was built as a train station by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q) in 1899 for $75,000.[2] The Chicago architectural firm of Burnham and Root, who designed many of the CB&Q's stations, designed this station as well.[3] Creston was a division headquarters, therefore all of the railroad's business in southwest Iowa operated from here. It also housed the office of the Master Carpenter, who oversaw all section and bridge work for the division, and the office of the trainmaster, who oversaw the switching and forming of trains in the Creston yards. In addition to the CB&Q mainline, two branch lines originated from here, and another railroad operated from the depot as well.[2] Amtrak's California Zephyr still serves Creston at a smaller, 1969-built depot.

After its use as a rail depot the building was converted into the Creston Municipal Complex. It houses various community rooms on the first floor and city government on the second floor.[4] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
