It rests on a low foundation of rubble sandstone, has board and batten siding and features a lateral gable roof with broad overhanging eaves supported by decorative brackets. The building is Gothic Revival in style, featuring hood moldings over windows and doors, plus ornately carved wood brackets supporting its wide eaves. The round condition, although it was shifted on its site many years ago.
The depot stands on a park-like lot at the northwest corner of Garfield and Brookside, in a mixed residential-industrial area about one half-mile west of the Olmsted Falls central business district and a block west of the proposed Olmsted Falls National Register Historic District boundary. The boards are rough-sawn and are of regular width, approximately one foot wide. The batten strips have simple ogee-shaped edges and rounded centers. Accenting this siding is a wide wood water table, extending almost down to grade and partially concealing the rubble sandstone foundation beneath. Windows and doors are accented by label lintels formed of wood with pedimented drip caps. The large wood brackets are widely and evenly spaced on all four sides. Windows and doors are spaced so that they are centered between these brackets. which are about four feet on each end.

At the east and west gable ends. 3-foot diameter round windows are set in the upper gables and have divided panes in a rosette pattern with clear glass. These round windows face into an attic space not visible from the interior. Near the center of the north elevation is a box- bay projection containing four windows. It extends out toward the end of the eaves. The gable roof is covered with standing seam metal, painted red.

This depot is laid out as a combination passenger and freight station, a typical arrangement for smaller communities. The center door from the south leads into a middle waiting room.
Short corridors along the south wall lead to the other principal spaces, a baggage room on the west end and another waiting room on the east end. The east corridor passes by a small office area that has ticket windows to the waiting rooms. The west corridor passes by a small restroom that seems like it was added earlier in this century. The walls and ceilings of the interior are finished with beaded tongue-and-groove siding, except for the west room, formerly a baggage handling room, which is finished with wide vertical board siding. Its ceiling is masonite board, suggesting it may have had a higher ceiling at one time. The floors are varnished wood tongue-and-groove set over a sub floor. The floor in the ticket office has a second finish floor laid over the original finished floor. The west room or baggage room has a wide plank floor.
Except for these floors, the surfaces of the interior are all painted. chimney.
