The depot was built by the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad (a subsidiary of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, also known as the "Santa Fe") in 1900^[2] and renovated in 1938. The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.^[3]

In 2002, following the opening of Fort Worth Intermodal Transportation Center (now Fort Worth Central Station), train service to the station ceased. The station, as well as the adjacent Santa Fe Freight Building, was passed into private ownership. It is currently used as an 800-seat special event venue under the name Ashton Depot.^[4]
