According to
Pennsylvania Railroad Stations Past and Present 'This is a "gothic cottage"-style station built of red brick with black brick detailing, three stories high. It was probably designed by Frank Furness, and is of a similar style and vintage as the
Glen Mills Station (WM5PND). It is extremely well preserved. About 50 feet west is a wooden freight shed, probably of the same vintage, still in use.'
A
Wikipedia description is available and states that the Morton Station Preservation Committee believes that the architect Joseph Wilson of the Wilson Brothers architectural firm actually designed the station for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
