The Chicago and North Western Railway Depot was built by the Chicago and North Western Railway (C&NW) in 1924. It is located at the east end of the business district in Beresford, South Dakota. The long rectangular depot is constructed of concrete, brick, and stucco on frame. The building consists of a freight room, the gentleman's waiting room, the washrooms and ticket office, and the ladies' waiting room.

The C&NW first entered Beresford in 1884. The current depot opened 1924 as a replacement for the previous smaller depot. At the peak of rail service, there were two freight and four passenger trains running on a daily basis.

The depot was listed in the National Register of Historic Places because of its architecture and also because of its association with the development of Beresford.
