==History==
[[File:Southern Depot High Point NC.jpg|thumb|left|Southern Depot, High Point, N.C.]]
High Point Station was originally built in 1907, by [[Southern Railway (U.S.)|Southern Railway]], and was designed in [[Richardsonian Romanesque]], with a rusticated [[ashlar]] base and a tiled hip roof. In the late 1930s, a trench was dug so rail and automobile traffic would not impede each other through downtown High Point; a [[Footbridge#Railways|walkway]] across the tracks and a staircase to an island platform at track level was constructed. In 1979, Amtrak took over passenger operations at the station from Southern Railway. Between 2002 and 2003, a $6.8 million renovation project was done that included making the station [[Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990|ADA]] accessible; the station reopened on December 9, 2003.<ref name=GreatAmericanStations>{{cite web |url=https://www.greatamericanstations.com/stations/high-point-nc-hpt/ |title=High Point, NC (HPT) - Great American Stations |publisher=Amtrak's Great American Stations |access-date=July 17, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title= Amtrak Fact Sheet, FY2017, State of North Carolina|publisher= [[Amtrak]] |date= November 2017 |url= https://www.amtrak.com/content/dam/projects/dotcom/english/public/documents/corporate/statefactsheets/NORTHCAROLINA17.pdf |access-date=February 3, 2019}}</ref>
