The Monticello Depot
It was declared a Mississippi Landmark in 1985. That's what the plaque is for on the exterior of the building. It was granted National Historic Place status with the Department of the Interior in 1995.
"The City of Monticello has received an Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act grant from the Mississippi Department of Transportation for the restoration of the depot. The proposed project will rehabilitate the depot in accordance with the US Secretary of the interior's Standards for Rehabilitation with the cooperation of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History."
