The history of the station building dates back to the early 20th century. The structure was originally built in 1935 as a freight depot for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway.

In the late 1990s, city authorities purchased the building and conducted a major renovation, transforming it into a modern passenger Transportation Center. The project preserved the historic appearance of the brick structure, harmoniously blending it with the architectural style of the colonial city. Today, the station plays a key role in the tourist infrastructure, connecting the past and the present.
