Fisher Branch Canadian National Railway Station

• the building's Railway Avenue location on a grassed and treed lot at the edge of the local business district, with the former rail line right-of-way to the west

Key elements that define the station's straightforward exterior character include:

• the presence of two distinct volumes under a complex cedar-shingled roof, including a two-storey block with a steeply pitched hip roof interrupted by gabled wall dormers, and a single-storey north wing topped by a sweeping, slightly bellcast gable roof with large overhanging eaves and simple wooden brackets
• the horizontal siding with trim painted a contrasting colour
• the simple fenestration throughout consisting of multi-paned, double-hung rectangular windows with simple surrounds
• the multiple entrances and projecting rectangular telegraph bay
• the modest details, including return eaves on the dormers, etc.

Key interior elements that define the station's function and layout include:

• the formal elongated rectangular plan with simple cube and rectangle forms
• half of the main floor devoted to functional railway aspects, and the other half given to the common areas of the station agent's residence, with the private quarters on the second level
• the basic, enclosed L-shaped staircase with wooden risers and treads
• the practical, no-frills details and finishes, including some wooden doors with intact hardware, wood trim throughout, some wainscotting in the waiting room, etc.
