The La Jara Depot, at Broadway and Main Sts. in La Jara, Colorado, was built in 1911. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]

It was a railroad depot of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad.

It is unusual architecturally as a 1911 public building for its early reflection of Prairie School architecture and the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright.[2]

It has also been known as the La Jara Town Hall.[2]
