It is a one-and-a-half-story 22 by 61 feet (6.7 m × 18.6 m) wood-frame structure, partitioned in a normal way for country railroad stations: the south end has a combination baggage-freight room, a business office including an agent's work area and a passenger waiting area is in the middle, and the north end was living quarters for the depot agent.[2]
It has not been used as a train station since 1962, when the C & N W branchline from Platte River Junction, Nebraska, to Seward, Nebraska, was dismantled in 1962.[2]
