It is set just south of the former railroad right-of-way of the Saint Johnsbury and Lake Champlain Railroad (a later reorganization of the Portland and Ogdensburg), at the northernmost point of what was known as the "Greensboro Bend" in its main line between Saint Johnsbury and Hardwick.

The passenger station is set closest to the road, and is the most architecturally elaborate.

Its main decorative features are extensive Stick style applied woodwork beneath the eaves, and delicate jigsawn woodwork at the gable ends, including pieces set in the large brackets that support the roof.

[2] The station was built by the Portland and Ogdensburg about 1872, year service opened between St. Johnsbury and Hardwick.

The rail line was acquired by the state in 1973 (and is now a multi-use trail), and the buildings have been repurposed.
