History

The station was constructed in 1908 by the Southern Railway and was designed by Frank P. Milburn in the Spanish Mission Style.[4] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, but was nearly demolished until it was bought by the Historic Salisbury Foundation in 1984.[5] Renovations began in 1993 and were completed by 1996, although NCDOT gave the foundation extra funding in 1999 to enlarge the waiting room.[6]
