The Louisville and Nashville Depot is a historic railroad station in Evergreen, Conecuh County, Alabama, United States. It was built by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in 1907. During the early 19th century, the station served as a gathering place for one of the social occasions of the small town, the meeting of the Sunday afternoon train.[2]

The one-story wood frame building rests atop a low concrete foundation. It is roughly cruciform in plan, measuring 167 by 49 feet (51 m × 15 m) at its widest points. It is now in a very good state of preservation, although it was threatened by demolition during the 1970s.[2]

The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 3, 1975.[1]
