The EPSW had reached Tucson about 1912 and the passenger station was finally completed near the end of 1913, and provided two waiting rooms, a baggage room, a ticket office and two outdoor waiting areas. It was fronted by a 2 1/2-acre triangular-shaped garden containing lush plants as well as a massive fountain. Eight columns of Indiana limestone and a red Mexican tile roof grace the exterior of the depot. Inside, a 20-foot rotunda topped by a stained-glass dome rises 30 feet above the floor.
