The Beverly Shores depot, designed by Arthur Gerber for Samuel Insull, the railroad magnate, follows the Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture.  The building, constructed in 1928, consisted of a waiting room (still in use), ticket office and a five room apartment for the ticket agent.  A twin to this building, the Briergate depot, stands in Highland Park.  The era of interurban electric trains has all but ended.  The South Shore Line is one of the last in use.
