Other Notes:

"Home of the Ennis Railroad & Culture Musuem - This wasn't the first depot Ennis had, the first one was a two story wooden building next door to the brick one. This one pictured was a railroad resturant. Sometime in the late 40's, the wooden structure burned and the T&NO moved in with the resturant. Later, the resturant closed up and the T&NO, now SP, used the depot as an office till it was donated to the city of Ennis."
