Wilton station in Wilton, North Dakota, USA, was built in 1900 by the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad. Designed by William J. Keith, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 as the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Sainte Marie Railroad Company Depot. It is also known as Soo Line Depot.[1]
According to its NRHP nomination, the station "is historically significant for its association with William Drew Washburn (1831-1912). It is architecturally distinctive for its incorporation of a pagoda-like tower within what is otherwise a conventional design for a railroad structure."[2]
