It sits on its original 1909 location approximately two blocks from downtown Lodi, which was very convenient for passengers. Its location on the west side of Lodi was also good for freight service as this was a commercial area and many business were served by the rail siding which ran from the depot to Lodi businesses. used for freight service as well (Fig. 5). portion of the structure was constructed using balloon framing for the walls. The ceiling joists were supported by a ribbon strip let into the wall studs. Investigation of the existing structure reveals that the original depot had a simple gabled roof with minimal eave overhangs and vertical board and batten siding, typical of many 19*h century depots.

The Stick Style/Eastlake style bracketed wide overhanging eaves were added during the 1909 expansion based on the fact that the fly rafters lap onto the earlier rafter tails at the wall plate. The roof was also changed to a hipped roof configuration. The fact that the brackets are not correctly spaced for the window openings, and in fact were shortened for the window where interference occurred further supports this fact. The orientation of the siding was also changed to horizontal clapboards with flat window casing and trim. loading doors with divided light transom windows, a man door which accesses the freight and ticket office, three nine over one and two six over one double hung windows in the telegraph station, there was also a passenger door and one more window into the General Waiting Room on the track side (southwest) elevation (Fig. 1).

The southeast end elevation of the depot (picture 0003) retains one large freight door and a portion of the historic loading dock. It also retains the large overhang created by the hip roof and the decorative historic brackets that support it. The northwest end elevation (picture 0001) no truck/train collision in 1977. That alteration also caused the passenger door on the trackside elevation to be removed. The door was relocated to the northwest end elevation. The northeast elevation of the depot (picture 0004) retains two large loading doors with overhead transoms and three of the windows from the 1909 expansion. Prior to 1977 two more windows existed on the northeast elevation in the General waiting room. station had stopped being used for freight and had become a maintenance building.

This wall is the outside end With the exception of the missing section of the building which was removed after the 1977 truck/train collision, the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad Depot is in very good condition for its age and retains nearly 100% of the historic fabric from its period of significance. Although there are no photographic or written records to confirm it, it appears the bead board walls and ceiling, tongue and grove flooring, interior doors, nine over one windows and interior trim in the waiting area and ticket office are original from the 1882 construction. The historic trim, four panel loading doors, divided light transom windows and flooring in the freight room added in 1909 remain, although one of the built-in document cabinets was stolen in the late 1990s.

The exterior of the building retains the siding, trim and decorative eave brackets installed during the 1909 expansion of the depot. The one notable change made to the depot is the replacement of the slate Section 7 page 6 OMB No. 1024-0018 NPS Form 10-900 roof installed in1909 with modern composition shingles.The however detracts little from the wall of the 1882 depot.

Its According to the Erie Railroad Historical Society, the first railroad entered the area surrounding the Village of Lodi in 1862. It entered in Burbank which is on the northern edge of Wayne County, which abuts Medina County to the south, putting it about 5 miles south of Lodi. Although this railroad gave Lodi access to freight service, the limited roadway infrastructure of the time, combined with horse powered transportation meant freight service had limited value to the residents and businessmen of Lodi.

The strategy adopted by the newly formed railroad company was to set up construction points were an existing railroad crossed the newly surveyed W. & L. E. R.R. line.
