History

::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/Southern_Depot_High_Point_NC.jpg" caption="Southern Depot, High Point, N.C."] ::

High Point Station was originally built in 1907, by Southern Railway, and was designed in Richardsonian Romanesque, with a rusticated ashlar base and a tiled hip roof. In the late 1930s, a trench was dug so rail and automobile traffic would not impede each other through downtown High Point; a walkway across the tracks and a staircase to an island platform at track level was constructed. In 1979, Amtrak took over passenger operations at the station from Southern Railway. Between 2002 and 2003, a $6.8 million renovation project was done that included making the station ADA accessible; the station reopened on December 9, 2003.
