Built in 1887, it was an excellent example of Victorian railroad architecture, serving as a gateway for the town's industrial products to markets nationwide.

Converted to commercial use after rail service was discontinued on the line, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Common features of these sections include large Stick style brackets on extended eaves, and projecting cornices above the doors and windows.

At the time of its listing on the National Register in 1980, it was still in use as a freight depot, and retained most of its original interior fixtures.

The station was an important part of the local economy, because most of the area's industrial products and goods were shipped to market via the railroad.
