    The depot's agent / operators bay faces northwest. Railroad west is to the right in the trackside views. The depot was constructed in 1913.

    The depot address is 300 West Main Street. The building has been occupied since 1968 by the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks!

    Even though I was brought up in Eastern Oklahoma. I had never seen the Ada depot.

    Just how much passenger business did they have?

    Seems like I remember hearing that a couple of passenger trains went through Holdenville, OK but only at night.
