This one-story brick depot, with a steep gable roof like others of its type within the C&O system, is distinguished by the recessed, stepped panels at both gable ends, overhanging eaves with brackets, and wide segmental-arched openings. The C&O Historical Society operates the depot as a museum featuring railroad rolling stock from different eras.
