Constructed in 1927 and designed by Gustav Maass of the West Palm Beach architectural firm of Harvey & Clarke, it is identical to the Homestead Seaboard station further south, with the sole exception of its use of plain stucco rather than corinthian arches.

In addition, the northern end of the station containing what was the freight room has been modified and enlarged since its original construction.

[5] The station was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 1986, and purchased by the city of Delray Beach in 2005 for $1.6 million.

On February 25, 2020, the station was largely destroyed by arson, and it was not known at the time if the city of Delray Beach would continue with the restoration.

[6] After sitting vacant and abandoned for almost a year, in January 2021 the city announced a $2.6 million plan to fully restore the building with plans to move the city's Health and Wellness Center and Department of Human Resources to the restored structure once work is complete.
