This former Texas and Pacific (T&P) station is a substantial structure of red brick walls above a limestone base. Hipped roofs form deep eaves with exposed scrolled rafter tails, and small brick dormers with scroll tops punctuate the roof expanses. These modest Mission features do not detract from the overall Prairie Style character, a smaller and simpler version of the T&P passenger station (SB20) in Abilene.
