Archer Park Railway Station is a single-storeyed chamferboard structure with a corrugated iron hipped roof having galvanised iron ridge ventilators. The main entrance is located in the centre of the building, and consists of a projecting portico surmounted by a gable with the date and title "A.D. 1899 RAILWAY STATION" in raised lettering.
