Northern Design Works office is in the
former Marquette and Western Railroad
Negaunee depot. We are in the process of
on-going restoration of the building as we
use it as our offices. The building was
originally constructed in 1884 as a
combined freight and passenger depot. After
the brick passenger station across Gold
Street was constructed in 1910 the building
continued in use as a freight depot until
1965 when the railroad discontinued depot
service in Negaunee. As railroads merged
over the years the depot served the
Marquette, Houghton and Ontonagon Railroad,
the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic
Railway, and the Soo Line. The depot was
placed on the National Park Service's
National Register of Historic Places in
2008. A copy of the NRHP registration form
is available below with a detailed
description and history of the building.
