The Boones Mill Depot is a historic railroad station building at Digby Greene Road and Depot Drive in Boones Mill, Virginia. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, covered with a gabled roof whose eaves extend well beyond the building. Its exterior is clad in vertical board-and-batten siding. The building is divided functionally into a freight depot and passenger area, with the station office in between. The office area includes a projecting bay on the track side of the building, topped by a small gable. The station was built in 1892 for the Norfolk and Western Railway, and was taken out of service in 1970. It was acquired by the town in 2014.[2]
