Hay Railway Station was constructed in 1882 in the Victorian Free Classical style. The station is constructed of painted brick and there is stucco decoration; four types of bricks are used, some of them local and the others from outside Hay. Roofs are hipped and clad with corrugated iron (originally slate) and there is cast iron ridge cresting. The station is symmetrical and consists of a double storey central section with single storey side wings linked by verandahs. Beyond the side wings, brick walls connect with yet another wing at each end. Corbelled brickwork forms brackets beneath the eaves. Openings are round headed and there is stucco to surrounds and keystones; the sills beneath the windows are bracketted. Quoins are rusticated. The front verandahs to either side of the central section have cast iron posts with lace brackets and frieze. There is a cast iron balustrade in front of the main entrance. Dormer vents with finials protrude from the roof of the main section. Chimneys have bracketted cornices. On the platform side, the platform verandah is very distinctive in that it consists of a series of seven scalloped sections clad with corrugated iron. There is a timber valance to each section. The verandah is supported by iron lattice beams, and there are iron posts with decorative brackets. The platform is paved with diamond pattern paving. This is the only station verandah of this scalloped design in the state
