The Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad Depot, also known as Pennsy Depot, is a former railway station in Decatur, Indiana. It was built by the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad between 1902 and 1903. It was later used by the Pennsylvania Railroad and saw passenger service until 1957. The depot continued to be utilized for freight until 1982.[1] By 2015 the station building had fallen into disrepair and was rehabilitated over the following years to provide community space.[1][2]
The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 6, 2017.
