This brick depot is long and low, with a gabled roof supported by a thicket of scissor brackets. Sardis architect-contractor Johnson, who came south in the employ of the Illinois Central, has been suggested as its builder. By 1930, fourteen passenger trains arrived at this depot each day, but today traffic has been rerouted through Yazoo City.
