The station is a former Chesapeake and Ohio Railway depot, and is located in the Hinton Historic District.

Constructed in 1892,[3] the brick building includes wood canopies supported by heavy brackets featuring a wood-fan pattern trim.

A December 2007, fire damaged the building, but it reopened a short time later following repairs.

Work in the early phases included installation of a new slate roof, re-pointing of the brickwork and repairs to the windows and decorative woodwork.

[4] Due to a bend in the adjacent New River, eastbound trains actually head southwest when passing the station (and vice versa).
