The Tazewell Depot is a historic railroad station at 135 Railroad Avenue in North Tazewell, Virginia. It is a long rectangular brick structure, one story in height, with a hip roof that has broad eaves supported by large brackets. Both the long street-facing and track-facing sides have projecting bay sections. The depot was built in 1888 and rebuilt in 1928 by the Norfolk and Western Railway to serve passenger traffic on its line; the substantial freight volume was handled by a larger adjacent frame building. The Tazwell Street Railway started operations in 1892 and it operated between the depot and Tazewell proper. Passenger service on the railroads declined with the advent of the automobile, leading to the end of the streetcar in 1933. The original depot was dismantled in 1957 and passenger service ended in 1959, after which time the depot was also used for freight traffic, which was finally ended in 1974. It is one of two surviving depots that served on the Clinch River Line. Between 2014 and 2019, the station was restored to be used as a visitor center. The depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
