Madras was originally known as Powellville and later, Powell’s Station. By 1904, the name was changed to Madras. I believe the depot was built around the time of the name change but have been unable to locate any history.
Thanks to Carol Chancey of the Moreland Cultural Arts Association for pointing me in the direction of Madras.
