It is located in the center of Gilead, Maine, in northwestern Oxford County, not far from where it originally stood when built in 1851.

The surrounds of the door and windows are stylistically similar, with flared elements on the outer edges of the side molding, and an upward projection on the lintel.

The interior of the station is divided into two rooms, the doorway entering into the larger one, which fills the center and right of the building.

It is unknown what the original interior looked like, as it has been extensively altered for a variety of uses prior to undergoing restoration.

In 1893 it was moved a short distance from its original site, so that a larger station (which has not survived) could be built.
