The Downs station, nominated as the Downs Missouri Pacific Depot, is a historic railroad depot building at 710 Railroad Street in Downs, Kansas. The Missouri Pacific Railroad depot was located at a junction with lines radiating to Atchison, Lenora, and Stockton. The Central Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad completed the line from Atchison to Downs in 1879. However, this branch line better served the needs of the Missouri Pacific, which purchased the line in 1895. By the early 1900s, there were 18 trains a day serving Downs, which had a significant railroad presence with a ten stall roundhouse and associated railroad facilities. In 1916, the wooden depot burned down, necessitating the construction of the present brick depot.
Passenger service to the depot lasted until at least 1959 with the station added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 11, 2001.

The Downs Station also known as the Commander-in-Chief, the Downs or
Admiral Commanding at the Downs was a formation of the Kingdom of Great Britain and then the United Kingdom's Royal Navy based at Deal. It was a major command of the Royal Navy from 1626 until 1834.
The Downs is a roadstead (area of sheltered, favourable sea) in the southern North Sea near the English Channel off the east Kent coast. It is primarily known in naval history for the Dutch defeat of the Spanish in the Battle of the Downs in 1639.




History


The Downs served as permanent base for naval vessels operating out of Deal, Kent.
It served as a base for warships patrolling the North Sea. The command generally covered an area in the southern North Sea near the English Channel off the east Kent coast. The station lasted until 1815, when it was absorbed into the Commander-in-Chief, The Nore's control, whose role and geographic area of responsibility was re-defined by the Admiralty.
