McCormick Train Depot

McCormick Train Depot

The present one-story frame building is the third train depot in McCormick. This structure dates to 1911, following earlier depots built in 1882 and 1890. The building is a good example of many train depots constructed in South Carolina in the early twentieth century and highlights the impact of the railroad in McCormick's development. In the 1880's, McCormick became a rail center for the area and was a shipping point for timber and cotton. At one time, as many as eight passenger trains a day came to McCormick.
