If you love history, and you also love delicious dining, have we got the place for you! This historic train depot in Medford was all but abandoned for decades before it was restored and brought back into service as a restaurant. Check out Porters:

Welcome to Porters! This beautiful restaurant is situated inside the former train depot that was built in 1910.

The address of the restaurant is 147 N. Front St., Medford, Oregon.
The train station was once bustling and busy with passengers coming and going, but between 1955 and 1996, it was largely abandoned - either vacant or used as a freight office. It's been painstakingly remodeled, and has received its designation on the National Register of Historic Places, and now you can enjoy a meal here.

Many of the original fixtures, such as the radiators, passenger ticket counter, and wooden beams are still here, and you'll find plenty of historic photographs on the walls.

A huge mural in the dining room also pays homage to the history of this beautiful building.
