Terrebonne Depot<br />

If you want to dust off the<br />

chalk and go for a cold beer and<br />

a fantastic meal produced with<br />

locally sourced goods, head to<br />

Terrebonne Depot, just minutes<br />

from Smith Rock. Constructed<br />

in 1911 as a nexus for the burgeoning<br />

Oregon Trunk Railroad,<br />

the building was originally a<br />

one-story structure that aided<br />

in Central Oregon growth, welcoming<br />

passengers and freight<br />

from the east side of the railroad<br />

tracks—directly opposite its present<br />

location. Between 1938 and<br />

1951, the depot was hauled to<br />

the west side of the tracks and a<br />

second story was added for the<br />

storage of freight.<br />

As railroad waned, the depot<br />

sat abandoned for the latter<br />

part of the nineteenth century.<br />

In 2005, the current owners<br />

initiated the historic structure's<br />

meticulous and award-winning<br />

renovation. Where possible, materials<br />

from the original structure<br />

were reused. Local artisans were<br />

commissioned to handcraft the<br />

restaurant's substantial yet elegant<br />

bar—carved from the oldgrowth<br />

fir blocks that once supported<br />

the depot's floor.<br />
