The Moline City Council may have dealt a fatal blow to an historic landmark. Council members voted 5-2 against spending money to have the old train depot moved from it's location on River Dr.
The 112-year-old, red brick building has to move because sits in the way of the new I-74 Bridge. The depot is hemmed in by the bridge approach and can only be moved to the east of it's location.
The city had hoped to move the building to the new Western Illinois University riverfront campus and asked the Illinois Department of Transportation to assist in covering the cost, which was estimated at $270,000. But Monday night, council members decided not to spend any city funds to move it.
The depot was completed in 1900. The city bought the building in 1994 and turned it into a local visitor's center. It closed in May of 2008 and the building has been vacant ever since.
In 2009, the train station, with its iconic gable end clock, made the list of the Top 10 Endangered Landmarks in Illinois.
