In a local auction, longtime Garrettsville resident, Dave Wensel purchased the former New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio, and later Erie Railroad Depot.  The building, believed to be constructed before 1870 served as the railroad’s freight depot.

In 2014, a devastating fire destroyed much of Garrettsville's historic downtown.  Amidst the ongoing efforts to revitalize the community, Dave has become increasingly motivated to rebuild The Depot within the village of Garrettsville, returning a unique piece of history to the vicinity of its original home.
