The Santa Fe Station was constructed in 1955 and is a great example of Mid-Century Modern architecture. The facility was designed by architects Warren Corman and Warren Jones and was dedicated on February 7, 1956. The Lawrence Journal-World carried a front-page story with the headline “Gratitude shown to Santa Fe for Local Progress.” The article states that the Station was a “plush, ultra-modern” building constructed for $140,000. Based on its importance to transportation and railroad history and its architecture style, the Santa Fe Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 5, 2018, and it is also on both the Kansas Register of Historic Places and the Lawrence Register of Historic Places.
