At the southwest corner of Bedford Public Square sits a non-contributing structure within the Historic Business District. It is covered in gray vinyl siding but if its walls could talk it would tell several tales. Known as the C & P Depot, the Cleveland Pittsburgh Railroad built the depot in 1852. Abraham Lincoln passed through Bedford on his way to Washington DC and spoke to the people of Bedford from this depot. Bedford men and boys left to fight in the Union Army from this depot.
