Stanford station (Kentucky)
[3] Government assistance for building the line to Stanford lasted for only three months of 1863 and 1864, and the railroad had to pay for further development.The rise of coal mining in eastern Kentucky ensured the usefulness of the depot to the citizens of Lincoln County.[4] Due to the first station, Stanford's economy was finally connected to the rest of the states, and the 1870s and 1880s saw major economic expansion.[7] The depot is a rectangular frame building placed upon a gentle slope with a red brick foundation.Weatherboarding and narrow tongue-and-groove paneling are used in combination to cover the structure's outside walls.
