The station building was built in 1879, mainly following the drawings of architect Adolf W. Edelsvärd (1824–1919). The building was constructed entirely in wood. English botanist William Dallimore (1871–1959) visited the station in 1929 and noted that the "best birch panelling" was used.[2] [3] [4]
