Wabash Railroad Depot, Iowa, Moravia

            The Wabash Railroad depot was built in 1903. The combination station- passenger and freight service- is utilitarian in nature, however, its exterior character is influenced by the Eastern Stick style. The walls of the building with cross gables are clad with an assortment of claddings. The pattern of vertical and horizontal siding is separated by strips of molding.  At each gable end, above the window, there is a panel that is filled with alternating rows of sawtooth and scalloped wood shingles, with a plain wooden panel in the middle with "MORAVIA."  The roof has wide, overhanging eaves that are supported by decorative braces.  The apex of each projecting gable end is embellished with exposed decorative framing that adds visual interest and spirit to the building. 

The depot is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was relocated to its present location from across the street when it was donated it to the Moravia Historical Society in 1975.
