Context/Comments
Designed by the firm of D.H. Burnham & Co. of Chicago, the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Depot is an architecturally significant example of the influence of the Georgian Revival style on public buildings in America after 1900. The structure is also representative of the increased economic prosperity of the region brought in part by the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad (originally a subsidiary of and later a part of the Illinois Central railroad system). The depot building was rehabbed as a restaurant and office facility in the late 1970s, and was later converted into a museum.

The building was listed on the National Register on 13 November 1979, from a nomination prepared by MDAH architectural historian Jack Gold. It was designated a Mississippi Landmark on 24 October 2001.

It is included in the "Historic Vicksburg Walking Tour Guide" (#2, p. 3), "Vicksburg, Town and Country (Images of America)" (2001) (p. 75), and "Buildings of Mississippi" (2020) (p.71, YB2).
