The Utica Depot was built by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway ("Milwaukee Road") in the 1890s. It is a rectangular one story structure with wide overhanging bracketed eaves. It is a standardized depot design constructed by railroads in many rural locations. The depot has belled siding and an irregular stone foundation; a bay window and the main door are located on the front façade.[citation needed]
