It is a three-story brick building, whose main entrance originally faced the railroad, but was reoriented to the street facade after the railroad declined in importance.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, and is a contributing property to the Lick Skillet Railroad Work Station Historic District.
