Located on East Center Avenue, the station was constructed in 1924 by the Seaboard Air Line Railway. Approaching the transfer of passenger services to Amtrak, the station was used by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad for the Silver Meteor,Silver Star and the Palmland. The latter train ended in 1971, while the Silver Meteor and Silver Star remained operated by Amtrak..[6][7] Amtrak trains formerly using the station included the Floridian (1971–1979), Palmetto (2002–2004), Sunset Limited (1993–1996) and Silver Palm (1982–1985).
On March 16, 1990, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places as Old Sebring Seaboard Air Line Depot. On November 10, 2024, the Silver Star was merged with the Capitol Limited as the Floridian.[8]
