The Collinwood Train Depot, also known as the Collinwood Railroad Station, in Collinwood, Tennessee, was built in 1916. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
Architect: Unknown Architecture: No Style Listed Other names: Tennessee Western Railroad Station
It was a station of the Tennessee Western Railroad.
The Tennessee Western Railroad operated from 1912 to 1939, and was later incorporated into the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
The railroad line did not survive the Great Depression.
To make matters worse, the former Tennesse Western tracks were removed by the L&N between 1940 and 1941.
Since that time, it has been used as a private residence, a warehouse and a grist mill. In 1965 it served as the new location for Collinwood City Hall.
By 1980 it became a senior citizens center.
On September 4, 2001, it became a library and museum.
It is now the Collinwood Depot Library, per Google maps.
