The one-and-a-half-storey, brick and stone railway station was built in 1899.
In the early 20th century, the station featured a triangular-shaped garden and fountain area along the left of the structure.

The garden area was a feature of many Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) stations of the era, starting in Montreal and going west.
The railway felt this help attract settlers to the west. "
Station gardens, characterized as effective advertisements for prairie fertility, were a prominent part of these campaigns.
The station, especially in the west, was often the focus of the community and a major link with the outside world.
Civic boosters said the only evidence of a town's worth immediately seen by a prospective settler was the condition of town's railway station."
Kenora's is shown in period photographs as an early example of the CPR railway garden.
