While no longer on its original site, this building has been situated in the same waiting room on the west end, a freight room on the east end, and a small agent's office between them. The agent's office has bays, extending north and south from the main form of the building. The north bay, with its four windows, provided the stationmaster dormer. A decorative, rectangular attic window accentuates this form and adds formality to the public side of the depot. numerous distinctive features typically found in Queen Anne/Stick Style architecture, such as wood clapboard siding, wood shakes, switch-pitch hip roof with deep overhangs, triangular knee braces, slate roof, and twelve-over-one double hung windows. The distinctive features of the design are evident in the roof and siding details. The roof overhangs extend approximately six feet scrolled or cut into decorative shapes.

The windows are double-hung, in a "twelve-over-one" glazing pattern. The horizontal form is further emphasized by the use of four different courses of wood siding types. The original slate roof is fifty percent intact, the balance having been replaced with corrugated tin roofing sometime after 1963. The tin is scheduled for replacement with slates to match the original. The windows are double-hung, in a "twelve-over-one" glazing pattern. The horizontal form is further emphasized by the use of four different courses of wood siding types, arranged in belt courses, each separated by a decorative barge molding. With the exception of the agent's office "tower" described above, the north and south elevations are identical. The waiting room bay projecting bay of the agent's office contains two double hung windows on both the north and south elevations.

These windows are rolling freight doors, centered in the bay. These doors constructed of wood stiles with diagonal wood siding. A six light transom is located above each door opening. The north elevation has been altered at the waiting room bay. The entire wall has been removed just below the window head elevation. This wall will be reconstructed to its original condition during the restoration of the depot.

These being, the horizontally banded wood siding are located approximately at the third points, and match the waiting room windows on the north and south elevations. The windows are currently boarded, but will be restored to original condition. A non-functional dormer decorates the west elevation. This dormer is roofed in slate, and has an infill of fish scale wood shingles.

The east elevation is identical to the west with the exception that there are no windows, as this is the freight room. This elevation once sported a decorative dormer, identical to the one found on the west elevation. This element will be reconstructed to match The interior is divided into three bays as described above. The west bay contains the waiting room and is an open space with windows on the north, west and south walls. The east wall originally contained the ticket window and wood stove. Finishes consist has windows located at each end. These windows are arranged such that views are afforded in all directions. Finishes are the same as in the waiting room. The east bay contains the freight room. This room contains exposed wood stud walls and roof rafters. A wood plank wainscot, applied over the studs, extends to ten feet above finished floor.

The only fenestration is the two slit transoms located over the rolling freight doors. These doors and transoms are centered, one each, in the north and south walls.

Pataskala, Licking Co., Ohio designed in the Queen Anne/Stick Style of architecture. This building stands today, ninety percent intact and historically accurate, Criterion A: TRANSPORTATION the 1870's or 1880's, although the exact date is unknown. It was the advent of this railway line, known then as the Central Ohio, and area. The railroad also linked Outville, both geographically and commercially, to the Licking County seat, located in Newark to the east, as well as to the Ohio state capital, located in Columbus, to the west. The intersection of Outville Road, and the railroad tracks developed into a community of many subsequently thriving businesses, warehouse, barber shop, machine shop, and later, the Outville Hay and Grain Company.

The new railroad transportation undoubtedly contributed to the growth of these local businesses by making possible the transpof tation of agricultural products and people to and from this growing farming community. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad took over the Central Ohio in 1866, and continued operations until 1940, when they closed the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad, a part of the Pennsylvania Railroad system. highly on their ability to attract rail service. Likewise, some cities and towns were established around existing rail lines and the local demands for their services. At the time that this particular depot was constructed, rail service was the prime mode of transportation, both of passengers and freight.

After usurping the dominance of the overland stage and prior to the advent of the automobile, the pleasure made the railroads, as well as their buildings, key aspects of many towns. The railroad advanced agriculture and commerce in this area of Ohio, by importing the latest in mass produced farm implements, and exporting the agricultural goods they produced. Additionally, this railroad was the source of mail service, and in some instances, provided local transport for school children. Today, not only is this not the case, but our nation is rapidly losing record of this decay and are demolished.

National Register of Historic Places The Outville Depot is eligible under Criterion A, for its significance to the role transportation played in the development of the community, and Criterion C, for representing a distinctive building type, a late nineteenth century, small town, combination station, including a blacksmith, post office, general store, hardware store, livery stable, undertaking business, tile mill, sawmill, hotel, The railroad depot was an important part of any developing city or town from the mid nineteenth century to the early twentieth railroads were clearly the dominant force in transportation, enabling and often promoting the rapid expansion to this nation's the combination freight and passenger station, that resulted in the renaming of the village from Kirkersville Station to Outville by midwest and western sections earlier in the century.

S.W. Pataskala, Licking Co., Ohio Criterion C: ARCHITECTURE began in England, led primarily by architect Richard Norman Shaw. The designs of this period were executed primarily in brick, and reflected a medieval pattern. In this country, these designs were emulated in wood, expressing structural elements, such as knee braces, as a part of the design. The Queen Anne/Stick Style gained popularity influenced by the works of the architectural firm McKim, Mead and White. The widespread availability of detail pattern books, factory produced millwork and rail transportation itself, helped to proliferate this style. as platform framing.

The terms balloon framing and platform framing generally applied to structures of two or more stories in height. This type of construction was a drastic departure from the timber frame or post-and-beam methods utilized since colonization, and was spurred on by the invention of the manufactured or cut nail. The stick framing method of construction enabled light commercial construction. The property contains numerous distinctive features typically found in Queen Anne/Stick Style architecture, such as horizontally twelve-over-one double hung windows. now, prior to restoration, it is an extremely good example both of Queen Anne/Stick Style architecture, but also of the typical midwest small town combination depots constructed during this period. The distinctive features of the design are evident in the roof and siding details.

The roof overhangs extend approximately six feet past the exterior walls, and are supported by decoratively chamfered beams and triangular knee braces. The rafter ends have been scrolled or cut into decorative shapes. The windows are double-hung, in a "twelve-over-one" glazing pattern. The horizontal form is further emphasized by the use of four different courses of wood siding types. These features are intact. The major historic materials are as follows: Exterior: dutch-lap wood siding, cove dutch-lap wood siding, wood shakes, fish-scale wood shakes, rectangular and fish-scale roof slates. panel wood doors, beaded door and window casings with corner rosettes. Eighty to ninety percent of the abovementioned features are intact in original or close to original condition and are easily restorable.

This is a general term used to describe striated wood clapboard siding and shakes, an articulated hip roof with deep overhangs, triangular knee braces, slate roof, and construction practices established in the early nineteenth century known as balloon framing and later modified to a practice known midwest and western United States.
