Ashtabula was a disused Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway depot in Ashtabula, Ohio. It was built in 1901 to replace an older depot on the same line. The depot was located on West Thirty-second Street. [1]

As of 2012, the depot was used as a signal house for CSX.[2]

CSX demolished the depot by June 2018.[3]
