General Note

• Accompanying note: "This is an example of the Mediterranean Revival Architectural style. Building was closed in 1971 and purchased by Fred C. Babcock. In 1996, Mr. Babcock made it possible for the Punta Gorda Historical Society to purchase the Depot. Volunteers began its restoration and after several years of local donations and volunteer labor, a grant from the Florida Department of Historical Resources was received which helped to complete the restoration. The Depot is now open to the public six days a week (except July and August) from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Depot is maintained by proceeds from an Antique Mall located in the freight room. The Ticket Office, colored and white waiting rooms are museum areas."
