The old timber station was replaced by this stone and brick structure in 1916. The white sandstone walls came from A.C. Williams' quarry and the bricks were made at Harradine's Clay Pit and Brick Kiln. Local stone and locally manufactured brick were used to built the Quorn Railway Station. Dutch gables, believed to be designed by the Resident Engineer Frank Yeomans, are a unique feature.
