Watseka Union Depot |
| Description: |
In order to save the 1906 Union Depot, it was relocated 150 yards to the southeast in 1989. A new basement was built for it to sit on. The Depot now can be rented by the public and all proceeds go to maintaning the Depot. In addition, the Depot Board holds two other annual fundraisers to help with maintenance costs of the building. |
