Architecture

The station was constructed in 1895 of timber to a unique two-storey design in a combination of Jamaican Georgian and Victorian architectural styles.[3] The ground floor is constructed of ashlar, the upper floor of timber.[3] It has decorative fanlights, a Queen Ann entablature and pediment above the windows and a gable end zinc roof.[3]

In 2003, it was reported as being in "very poor condition" and "in need of major repairs".[4]

Fares

In 1910 the third class fare from Montpelier to Kingston was 8/- (eight shillings); first class was about double.[5]
