The facility is located in the town's old power plant, originally constructed in 1890. Renovation plans called for partial demolition of the power plant, but the soaring smokestack was retained as a symbol of the building's industrial heritage. Large expanses of glass on the principal elevations allow natural light to flood the waiting room. The wooden benches used by passengers were once located in the old Illinois Central depot.
