History

Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Depot, c. 1910

The Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western Railroad originally had a wood-frame structure as a depot in Ironwood.[2] In 1892, the company built a brick replacement.[3] The Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western became part of the Chicago and North Western Railway soon after.[3] The station was used for passenger traffic until 1970, and freight until 1971.[4] It currently houses the Ironwood Area Historical Society.[4]

Description

The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Depot in Ironwood is a red brick and sandstone structure[2] with a one-block long platform.[4] It has a multi-level hipped roof covered with slate.[2]
