The former Railway Administration Building is located near the Rockhampton city centre on the corner of Stanley and Denison streets, diagonally opposite the main railyards.
It retains a physical relationship with the North Coast Railway along the middle of Denison Street, which passes the former railway office building before crossing the intersection of Dension and Stanley streets to enter the railyard.

The former administration building is a two-storeyed, painted brick structure with a hipped roof and open verandahs to both levels on all sides.
It has ornamental cast iron lace balustrades to the upper verandahs and cast iron columns to both levels.
Original external timber joinery survives.
The ground floor external walls have rendered quoins painted in a contrasting colour.
The rear corners have timber fire escape stairs contained within the perimeter of the verandahs.

There is a low concrete fence along both street frontages.
The grounds include mature Hoop Pines and palm trees.

Internal alterations made in 1985 - including suspended ceilings, fluorescent lighting, new staircase, new joinery and new office fitout - are not considered to be of cultural heritage significance.
