Converse, also known as the Pennsylvania RR Depot, is a historic train station located at Converse, Indiana. It was built in 1912, as a 1+1⁄2-story, brick building in the Bungalow / American Craftsman style. It is surrounded by a deep pent roof canopy on three sides. Above the pent roof canopy is a broad stuccoed gable. It was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad and remained in use into the 1950s.[2]: 5 

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 as the Converse Depot.[1]
