The Watertown Depot in Watertown, Wisconsin, United States, is a railroad depot built in 1903 and operated by the Chicago and North Western Railway and the Milwaukee Road.[2] The station served passengers from 1903 to June 1950.[3] Afterward, it serviced freight trains until 1976. It has since been converted into a florist shop, and most recently, a used car dealership.[4] The Union Pacific Railroad's single-tracked Clyman Subdivision remains in front of the depot.
