It has also been known as Boone Town Hall as the city offices were moved there in 1996 upon damage to its main town hall building. [2]

It is a railway station and shipping point for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway's main line running through southern Colorado. [2]

It was deemed significant as representing "the impact that railroads had on a town's growth and development" and for its architectural significance: "This well-preserved building is one of the few surviving wood frame combination depots still at its original location. The Boone Depot was one of two otherwise standard structures [of the Santa Fe Railway in Southern Colorado] known to have an enlarged operator's bay." [2]
