Athens B & O
Train Depot
A historic landmark repurposed for modern living, steps from Ohio University.
Originally the area's premier arrival point, the Athens Station train depot is an architectural treasure. Now revitalized as our central leasing office, the landmark honors the city's locomotive history through careful preservation. The choice to reside here offers a rare connection to a historic past while embracing the lively collegiate atmosphere of Ohio University.
PRESERVING THE JOURNEY
Legacy Meets Luxury
Stepping into Athens Station is a walk through history. Once a vital rail hub on the National Register of Historic Places, the 19th-century depot now serves as our gateway. We honor this legacy by blending its architectural character with the modern comforts of Athens' premier residential community, offering a living experience that is as storied as it is sophisticated.
Finished in 1916, Athens Station depot acted as the main portal to Ohio University and the local area for many years. Initially a lively center for trade and social ties, this site saw generations of students leave and welcomed various visitors, correspondence, and freight from around the country.
National Register of Historic Places
Listed on the National Register in 1982, the depot stands as an exemplar of historic preservation. Today, it serves as the cornerstone of our community, housing our leasing offices within its restored mahogany walls and grand archways.
Living at Athens Station Apartments means being part of this continued legacy. Our residents enjoy a unique atmosphere where Athens heritage meets modern luxury, creating a sense of time and place that no other community can offer.
