The Chesapeake and Ohio Passenger Depot in Pikeville, Kentucky was built by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in 1923.^[3] The station along with a small baggage depot nearby were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1987.^[1]

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway reached Pikeville in 1907.^[3] The depot is a one-story brick structure built in the Classical Revival style of architecture.^[2] About 150feet from the depot is a small, similarly designed baggage station.^[4] At one point, the depot and baggage station were connected by a canopy, which has since been removed.^[2]

Until 2015, the building housed the Big Sandy Heritage Center.^[5]

The building currently houses Roasted - a locally owned coffee house and cafe.
