The Canaan depot is of Victorian influence. G. H. Bundy a cabinet maker was the craftsmanship that makes the building distinct. The chief engineer of the railroad was credited with the design. The second floor once housed a lunch counter or restaurant.

Built in 1872 this station was almost totally destroyed by a fire in Oct. 2001. Hard to believe it was rebuilt.
