The station was completed the same year the deadly Regina Cyclone struck the city, tearing through Wascana Park and gutting part of the downtown area.

The building underwent a major expansion in 1931, and the original façade was redone in a simpler Art Deco style with Tyndall stone.

[2][3] The building contains old railway police jail cells in the basement that were used for transporting prisoners, and shows evidence of a tunnel representing a system of underground passages said to stretch several blocks east of the casino and south all the way to the stately Hotel Saskatchewan.

Inside, positioned on a wall in the central hall, is a schedule board displaying the arrivals and departures on the day the train station closed in 1990.

The hall itself, formerly the station's main concourse, features a high ceiling with simple chandeliers and a clock near the top of the back wall.
