From the 1930s until 1961, the Maricopa Depot was operated by the Southern Pacific Railroad in the town of Maricopa. The vintage building closed Aug. 18, 1961, and was purchased by a family who had it moved to their home in Phoenix, where it remained until 2003 when it was purchased and moved to the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale. The depot was restored by 2004.
