Santa Anita Depot and Post Office -- Elias Jackson "Lucky" Baldwin, owner of Rancho Santa Anita, gave the Santa Fe Railroad Company the right of way through his property if it would build a depot on it, bring the mail to the depot; and make it a signal stop. A.A. Bennett, the architect who designed the Capitol at Sacramento, also designed this Santa Anita Depot, which was built in 1890. The two-story Santa Anita Depot opened on Baldwin Avenue in 1890. Living quarters for the station agent, consisting of two rooms and a porch, were located on the second floor. During President Teddy Roosevelt's 1904 re-election campaign, the Santa Anita Depot was one of his "whistle stops." The station closed in 1940. When construction of the 210 Freeway threatened its existence in the late 1960s, it was dismantled and moved to the Arboretum. The newly relocated and reconstructed Depot was dedicated in September, 1970.
