The Chesapeake and Ohio Passenger Depot in Pikeville, Kentucky was built by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in 1923.[2] The station along with a small baggage depot nearby were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1987.[3]

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway reached Pikeville in 1907.[2] The depot is a one-story brick structure built in the Classical Revival style of architecture.[1] About 150 feet (46 m) from the depot is a small, similarly designed baggage station.[4] At one point, the depot and baggage station were connected by a canopy, which has since been removed.[1]

Until 2015, the building housed the Big Sandy Heritage Center.[5]

The building currently houses Roasted - a locally owned coffee house and cafe.
