===First brick depot in Oregon===
On 3 August 1893, Toledo became the first city to have a railroad [[Train station|depot]] made out of brick in Oregon.<ref>{{cite web|author=University of Oregon|title=Lincoln County leader., August 3, 1893, Image 4|publisher=Lincoln County leader. and University of Oregon|work=Oregon News|url=https://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn85033162/1893-08-03/ed-1/seq-4/#words=brick+depot+Toledo|access-date=2020-06-04}}</ref> The reason to build a depot had to do with a dispute of a twenty-foot strip of land. The city of Toledo, at the time, had no depot provided to the citizens. However, the citizens of Toledo made a demand on the railroad commissioners asking that the Oregon Pacific be forced to provide reasonable accommodations there.<ref>{{cite web|author=Nash, Wallis|title=The Oregon Pacific Railroad, Its Inception, Present Condition and Needs, with Some Suggestions as to Its Future Development

Oregon Pacific, in return, agreed to erect within sixty days from the date of the contract a brick depot building at Toledo of the size and dimensions as before agreed upon at 20 feet by 60 feet.<ref>{{cite web|author=University of Oregon|title=Lincoln County leader., April 27, 1893, Image 4|publisher=Lincoln County leader. and University of Oregon|work=Oregon News|url=https://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn85033162/1893-04-27/ed-1/seq-4/#words=brick+depot+Toledo|access-date=2020-06-04}}</ref> The depot was later expanded and stuccoed by Southern Pacific Railroad in 1922-1923. The depot was torn down in 1961 to make way for street improvements.<ref name="Palmer">{{cite book | last=Palmer| first=Lloyd| title=Steam Towards the Sunset | year=1982| publisher=Lincoln County Historical Society | isbn=0-911443-00-2 }}</ref><ref name="Gavin2"/>
