It was deemed notable as "one of the best-preserved small-town railroad stations in Montana."[2] It is a wood-framed building about 48 by 24 feet (14.6 m × 7.3 m) in plan, which is two stories tall at its eastern end which holds passenger facilities and the railroad agent's quarters, and one story tall at the western, freight room end. It is a standard "second-class" depot built by the Minneapolis, St. Paul, & Sault Ste. Marie Railroad ("the Soo Line") in 1913. In 1993 it was operated by the Dakota, Missouri Valley & Western Railroad. The depot is located on the north side of the east–west railway which runs along the south side of the small town of Outlook (population 109 in 1990).[2]
The station's privy, located to the west of the depot, is the second contributing building.[2]
