The small, Victorian, wood frame Adelaide depot served the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad in Fremont County, Colorado. The building features a decorative gable apron trim, a wooden platform, wooden siding, and a water tank. In 1896, the railroad relocated the station building high above the stream on a ledge cut into the hillside. A new water tank was located up the grade from the station.
