The Lindsay Santa Fe Depot, located at 107 N. Main St. in Lindsay, OK was constructed in the year 1903. Its present day location was at one time the property of Mr. Lewis Lindsay. Mr. Lindsay donated the fertile Washita Valley agricultural region acreage to the Santa Fe Railroad Company. At the time the Santa Fe Company started laying railroad tracks west from Pauls Valley, the Rock Island Co. started laying east toward Lindsay, where the two lines met. In 1942, the Rock Island tracks were removed. This depot was established to provide connections with the rich fertile areas of present day Pauls Valley, Chickasha, and other surrounding areas for shipping goods such as broomcorn, cotton, and agriculture products in Oklahoma.

The Lindsay Depot handled freight and passenger service. However, in 1983, passenger service was discontinued. The depot retained its role as a shipping and receiving center until its close in the spring of 1985. T he Lindsay Santa Fe Railroad Depot is listed on the Nation’s Register as one of the two oldest Santa Fe Depots in South Central Oklahoma. It is one of the best two remaining examples of vernacular architecture as applied to railroad stations in the early 1900’s.
