The Napa Valley Railroad Depot is also listing #77000313 on the National Register of Historic Places.

We could not locate a California Historical Landmark plaque, but according to the California Office of Historical Preservation, the wording is:

Napa Valley Railroad Depot

The Napa Valley Railroad depot, now the Southern Pacific depot, was built in 1868. Its roundhouse across Lincoln Avenue is gone. On its first trip, this railroad brought people to Calistoga for the elaborate opening of Brannan's summer resort in October 1868.
