DP3 Architects Selected to Provide Design Services for the Restoration and Renovation of Historic Westminster Train Depot
DP3 Architects, Ltd. provided research, design and construction administration services for the restoration and renovation of the historic Westminster Train Depot in Westminster, SC. The depot was constructed circa 1912 and played an integral role in the life in Westminster. Although rail service ended in Westminster in April 1970, the depot remained a viable cultural center by housing the Chamber of Commerce and hosting the long running South Carolina Apple Festival.
When the depot was nearly destroyed by fire in January 2006, its viability was questioned. Through the concerted efforts of many in and around Westminster, the decision was made to restore the depot, allowing it to regain its prominence in the history of Westminster.
A grand opening ceremony was held October 11th celebrating the restored and renovated depot. The building houses the Westminster Chamber of Commerce and be available for use by other city and county organizations.
