The Lloyd Railroad Depot (also known as Bailey's Mill Station or Number Two Station) is a historic depot building in Lloyd, Florida in the United States. Built in 1858 by the Pensacola and Georgia Railroad, it is the oldest brick railroad station in Florida and one of only three surviving railroad depots in the state built prior to the start of the American Civil War.{{cite web| url=http://www.jeffersoncountyfl.gov/p/history-culture| title=History & Culture – Jefferson County, Florida| publisher=Government of Jefferson County, Florida| accessdate=December 20, 2016}}{{cite web| url=http://dos.myflorida.com/media/32357/civilwarheritagetrail.pdf| title=Florida Civil War Heritage Trail| publisher=Florida Division of Historical Resources| page=28| accessdate=December 21, 2016}} The Seaboard Air Line Railroad operated a local New Orleans - Jacksonville train on the line, making flag stops at the station, while the better known Gulf Wind passed through without stopping.'Official Guide of the Railways,' August 1949, Seaboard Air Line section, Table 11

The building closed in 1966 after its owner at the time, the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, discontinued that local service and donated it to the Jefferson County Historical Society.{{cite web| url=http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3651&context=flstud_pub| title=Village boasts oldest brick rail station| publisher=University of South Florida Scholar Commons| accessdate=December 20, 2016}} A few years later, ownership was transferred to the Gulf Wind Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, who own it to this day.{{cite web| url=http://gulfwindnrhs.org/LloydDepot.html| title=Historic Lloyd Depot| publisher=National Railway Historical Society, Gulf Wind Chapter| accessdate=December 21, 2016}} On December 2, 1974, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
