Cleveland Southern Railway Depot is a former railway station in Cleveland, Tennessee. The station was established by the Southern Railway in 1869. By the early 1900s, the station had become too small for its traffic load. The railroad purchased the land just to the north of the original station in 1909.[1] It opened in 1911. Rail service ended on August 11, 1970. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 27, 2008;[2] the building was unused by that time.[3] The original 1869-built station exists as Norfolk Southern Railway offices.
