Historic Structure Report standards are found in nps-28, the Cultural Resource Management Guidelines. Treatment recommendations are developed in conformance with historic preservation standards and guidelines and national and state codes. The Historic Structure Report includes documentation of the history and importance of a structure, evaluation of the condition of the structure, consideration of alternative methods of implementation, and recommendations for appropriate preservation measures and the best possible strategies to achieve management goals while protecting the qualities and characteristics of the resource which make it eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. The Kelso Depot is one of the significant cultural resources within Mojave National Preserve, representing one of the major influences on the history of southeastern California, an element in the history of railroad development in the western portion of the United States, and one of the few surviving examples of railroad related architecture in the southwest. After the building no longer provided support for the Union Pacific Railroad functions here and was closed in 1985, the effort to preserve this historic structure began with local citizens, which resulted in transfer of ownership to the Bureau of Land Management, then to the National Park Service upon the creation of the Mojave National Preserve. This historic structure report is an element of planning for the preservation of both the natural and cultural resources of the Preserve.

A schoolteacher and Methodist preacher in Missouri, in the Civil War Kelso earned fame fighting rebel guerrillas. Seeking personal revenge as well as defending the Union, he vowed to slay twenty-five rebels with his own hand, and when he did so he was elected to Congress. In the House of Representatives during Reconstruction, he was one of the first to call for the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson. After his term in Congress, personal tragedy drove him west, where he became a freethinking lecturer and author, an atheist, a Spiritualist, and, before his death in 1891, an anarchist. John R. Kelso was many things. He was also a strong-willed son, a passionate husband, and a loving and grieving father. The Civil War remained central to his life, challenging his notions of manhood and honor, his ideals of liberty and equality, and his beliefs about politics, religion, morality, and human nature. Throughout his life, too, he fought private wars-not only against former friends and alienated family members, rebellious students and disaffected church congregations, political opponents and religious critics, but also against the warring impulses in his own complex character. His life story moreover, offers a unique vantage upon dimensions of nineteenth-century American culture that are usually treated separately: religious revivalism and political anarchism; sex, divorce, and Civil War battles; freethinking and the Wild West"--
