The Theodore railway station is a municipal designated historic building, (located in Theodore, Saskatchewan, Canada) and a disused station that was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway. The two story, railway station is of wood construction as is the last remaining station of the Type Nine Canadian Pacific Railway Station design developed by Ralph Benjamin Pratt.[1] Offices and waiting areas were designed to occupy the ground floor, while the second floor dormers contained the residence for the station master.[1]
