Olean Railroad Depot is a historic train station located at Olean, Miller County, Missouri. It was built about 1884 and is a one-story, rectangular frame building with board and batten siding. The building measures 16 feet, 2 inches, by 40 feet, 3 inches. It has a gable roof with a four-foot-wide overhang supported by brackets all around and the gable ends are embellished by decorative truss work. The depot closed in 1962.[1]
The railroad depot, which lent its name to the surrounding community, was named after Olean, New York after several other names the town tried to use ran into conflict with other towns on the rail route.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
