The image shows a train station building with early 20th-century architectural style. The station is symmetrical, with a pitched roof and signs marking entrances. One sign above the central door reads "WAITING ROOM WHITE PEOPLE" and another on the left reads "WAITING ROOM COLORED PEOPLE." There is a gable over the central section. The photo has a sepia tone, creating a nostalgic feel. Tracks run parallel to the viewer, with individuals and objects near the entrance. The station is labeled "SOUTHERN PINES," with smaller signs detailing services like "Southern Express Company" on the right.
