The Utah Southern Railroad Depot, located at 225 East State Street in Lehi, Utah was built in c.1873. It has also been known as Oregon Short Line Railroad Depot, as Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Depot, and as Union Pacific Railroad Depot. All of these names refer to railroad companies that were subsidiaries or acquisitions of the Union Pacific Railroad that used this depot. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]

It's a plain two-story wooden structure, but as of its NRHP nomination, it was significant as "one of only two remaining depots from the earliest decade of Utah's railroad history. In operation as a depot for 100 years (it closed in 1973), the depot also served as a telegraph office and dancehall."[2]
