The station was once the junction for the Mortlake line that opened in 1890 and closed on 1 August 1978.[3]

The building itself consists of a single level. Notable features include round arched windows, tall octagonal chimney stacks, cream brick dressings and a gambrel roof to the porch.[4]

The station represents an intact example of a station building design stemming from the Victorian Government Railway Construction Act 1884. As a result, the station is heritage listed and holds a historical significance to south-west Victoria.[5]

During the first year of operation, the station sold 11,510 tickets to Camperdown for a total revenue of £11,157.[6] At the peak of operations the station had a four road yard, today it has a single dead end siding.[2]
