>A geocache was just beyond a far end of the station's parking lot.

>"In 1888, Leland Stanford ... arranged to have his university's
>stonemasons build the depot. Almaden sandstone blocks, the same
>material used for many buildings at Stanford University, were used
>in the construction of the Richardson Romanesque Revival-style
>building -- rare for a train station. In the past the station has
>served as church, post office, and library, and is currently the
>Depot Cafe. The building was designated a city landmark in 1976, and
>in 1984 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places,
>No.84001191."
