The Midland Terminal Railroad Depot in Victor, Colorado, was built in 1895 for the Midland Terminal Railway.[2]
Colorado Midland Railroad established the Midland Terminal Railroad for a spur line between Divide and Cripple Creek and then to Victor. This allowed for ore to be transported via train rather than wagons for processing in Old Colorado City.[3]
The brick depot contains features common to its type and period of construction including the wide overhanging eaves, the central bay office window, and the large freight doors.[2]
