The depot has been the hub of the county's development and has seen substantial changes in Granbury's cultural and economic growth. The one-story, rectangular brick depot features wide eaves and a hipped roof. Interestingly, the roof still maintains much of its original Ludowici clay tiles. The Granbury Railroad Depot possesses significance in area history, architecture and culture. Built in 1914, it is a remaining symbol of rail transportation to and from Granbury, which triggered a great economic boom here in the 1880s. The Depot is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local, regional, state and national history. The expansion of the railroad across the U.S. brought prosperity and new innovations to lands that had been without. Granbury was no exception. The arrival of the railroad had an "immediate impact" on the local economy and property values rose exponentially. The Depot had separate waiting room sections for white and black passengers, which demonstrates the plight of African Americans in the south after the Civil War. Granbury's founding town fathers together donated $25,000 to bring the Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railroad to Granbury in 1887. These men included Ashley Crockett and E.A. Hannaford. Granbury citizens who used the train included farmers, ranchers and businessmen who used the depot to ship their goods. The Depot is similar to historic Texas railroad stations which also have the wide overhanging eaves and the separate waiting rooms for different ethnic groups. The Depot was built by employees of the Frisco Railroad using brick, stone and trademark Ludowici clay roof tiles which were from the original clay tile factory in New Lexington, Ohio, which burned in the 1950s. The Depot is no doubt, one of the most established and familiar visual features of Granbury. It stands as a monument of progress in this community from rustic pioneer settlements to rural Texas county seat. The Granbury Railroad Depot was designated a local landmark November 8, 2008.

The Walker House is a Vernacular House (particular to the region) and is Eastlake in stylistic influence. The home was purchased by Dr. W. S. Walker in 1901 from Mrs. Bettie Miller. He bought the house shortly after his marriage to Eunice Fitzhugh. The stained glass windows are original to the house as is the gingerbread trim and turned wood posts on the front porch. Dr. Walker sold the house to S. T. Compton in 1913, and went through many owners until Dr. Joel Martin D.D.S. bought the property and gave the house to Howard and Diane Lock to make room for his new dental practice. The Locks moved the home to its current location and the home is now known as Walker House Antiques. Mrs. Lock is very active in Granbury's historic preservation efforts and is a member of the Granbury Historic Commission. The Walker House was designated a Granbury Historical Landmark by the City of Granbury Historic Commission October 1, 2002. This information was obtained from their website.
