It is a relatively small station, a single story in height with Richardson's characteristic heavy masonry and outsized roof.

The building is laid out symmetrically within, with a large passenger room at each end (one for women, the other for men).

The station's facade is constructed of rough-faced, random ashlar of gray granite with a brownstone belt course and trim.

Two large, semicircular arches punctuate each of the long facades, inset with windows and doorways, and ornamented with carvings of a beast's snarling head; a further semicircular arch projects to form the east facade's porte-cochere.

In 1969, the Ames family purchased the property from the Penn Central Railroad and gave it to the historical society.
