The Downs station, nominated as the Downs Missouri Pacific Depot, is a historic railroad depot building at 710 Railroad Street in Downs, Kansas. The Missouri Pacific Railroad depot was located at a junction with lines radiating to Atchison, Lenora, and Stockton. The Central Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad completed the line from Atchison to Downs in 1879. However, this branch line better served the needs of the Missouri Pacific, which purchased the line in 1895. By the early 1900s, there were 18 trains a day serving Downs, which had a significant railroad presence with a ten stall roundhouse and associated railroad facilities. In 1916, the wooden depot burned down, necessitating the construction of the present brick depot.
