The original station in Kirkwood was built in 1863. It was wood frame.  It lasted only til 1893.

     In 1893, the Missouri Pacific Railroad hired Douglas Donovan to build a replacement station made of stone. Its exterior is made of random Ashlar light colored stone.

     It features porte cochere and a main entrance set within a large round arch.  There is a curved bay facing the tracks. This is topped by a turrett.with a conical roof.

    In the early 2000s, the station was briefly closed.

     There is an atm, no elevators, pay phones, no vending machines.

     The building is currently undergoing a renovation
