Description

  • Content Description: Photograph of a one story frame with pitch roof, deep eaves with stick style brackets. The framing is slightly peaked over all openings and windows are 9/9. This station is one of the most intact railroad stations in the county. This was the line to Galveston to carry sugar and cotton, later produce. Mr. Thompson was a man who lived in the community for a short period and negotiated with the railroad company to run the line through the community. The company identified the station as Thompsons' switch and the name stuck.
