Built in 1897, the Richardson Romanesque-style building cost $75,000. It opened on January 2nd, 1898, and served train passengers for 73 years.

The three-story clock tower was one of the most recognizable features of the building. However, it was removed in 1946. In 2006, a new clock tower was constructed as part of the restoration of the historic building.
