The first depot building was built in 1864. It was destroyed during the civil war and eventually rebuilt. In 1904, it was struck by lightning and burned. It was rebuilt in 1904, and that's the same building that stands today.
Because seafood was seriously lacking in the Auburn area, the new owners decided to focus their menu on a variety of seafood dishes.
