In order to better serve the commercial needs of Corvallis and the Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University), the building was relocated in 1917 to 6th and Monroe Streets by mule teems: a move which took three weeks to accomplish.

The train station served the Southern Pacific Company for 29 years and was also the headquarters for the Corvallis Police until 1979 when the building was slated for demolition.

Fortunately, a group of concerned citizens acted to save the historic building from destuction. On May 16, 1982, the building was again moved through the streets of Corvallis as thousands proudly watched.

During the departure and arrival of soldiers for both World Wars, the Corvallis Depot was the scene of many emotional separations and joyful reunions. Today, as Michael's Landing, the Depot is once again a special meeting place for friends and loved ones.
