Design

The building consists of a small brick passenger/cargo depot with a large, two-story repair substation at the rear. It has Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne style design elements. The passenger depot section is topped by a series of red clay tile hipped roofs.

The building is of the same design as the company's Plainfield Depot.[2]
