Why not turn the depot into an museum with the history of pearland , railroad history and also the group -Pearland Historic society to operate it with donations and grants , funds ?

Sorry it took so long to answer about when the depot was still @ 35 & 518, we moved here in April of 1979. And the police station & court house was located behind it. Population back then was around 14,000, my how things have changed.

I noticed where the Pearland Historical Society is located next to the tax office, why not move it to the old Depot.

So what did everyone think? I feel like it makes sense.

They were going to look into it when they were sure it could be renovated but not sure it would be big enough or if it would be possible. I missed the last meeting so don't know if it was brought up.
