Notes
  • Significance: The abandoned depot evidences an era, extending from the late nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries, when railroads symbolized progress and hope. Whether a railroad came to town or not often meant the difference between future prosperity and mere survival. The depot is significant locally because it included Wisner in the nationwide trend of economic development of rural areas. The style of the building is based on standardized plans used in the northern part of the country, and in its relatively unmodified state, evidences the utility of county rail stations.
  • Survey number: HABS LA-1270
