Following the fire of January 21, 1910,
in downtown Wiggins, Gulf and Ship Island
Railroad officials replaced the two-story,
wooden depot lost lo the blaze with a
one-story wood frame structure. In the
late 1990s, when the Kansas City Southern
Railway System decided to demolish the
1910 depot, the City of Wiggins acquired
the property. In December 2000, the
structure was moved to the corner of
Hatten Avenue and First Street
where it became the headquarters of the
Economic Development Partnership.
