Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad Depot.
In 1874, Mr. S. Parker platted 25 acres of land lying adjacent to the depot. He then called this Parkersville. Some time later the town was renamed Western Union Junction. The village was surveyed on Aug. 13, 1901, and name of the village was changed to Corliss for the Brown Corliss Engine Company of Milwaukee. On July 20, 1907 the recession set in, causing the filing of bankruptcy by the Brown-Corliss Engine Company.
The B. F. Sturtevant Company of Boston, Massachusetts bought the Brown-Corliss Engine Company in 1923 and on October 2, 1923, the name of the village was changed from Corliss to Sturtevant.
In 1902 the Milwaukee Road built the station pictured here. By 1912 over 65 trains stopped at Sturtevant.
Today CP Rail (Canadian Pacific Railway) runs through town. The Milwaukee road went out of business in 1986 when the Soo Line bought the bankrupt railroad. In 1991 CP Rail took Control of the Soo.
This Station was scheduled to be torn down last year but it was saved and moved to the nearby Village of Caledonia, Wisconsin where it will be restored and used as a museum.
