The depot is located alongside the former L&N "Main Stem" the line that runs from Louisville to New Orleans. The depot itself is in fair shape, being used as a warehouse for a local seed supply company. It is painted a greenish color, probably faded fom some other color. Style-wise, it conforms to an L&N standard depot designed and developed by the railroad in the 1890s.
The depot has a large freight house and an extra waiting room between the ticket office and the freight house, a reminder that it is in the formerly segregated South.
The "street" side of the depot is inside the seed company's fence and thus it is not accessible to the public.
