The new Arcade Station was described by Thompson and West in glowing terms, and touted as the finest building of its kind west of Omaha. "The general style of the building is Gothic and its architectural appearance is impressive and beautiful. It consists of a central pile of buildings, a portion being two stories in hight [sic], faced by a depot arcade or sheltered avenue, seventy feet wide and 414 feet long. This arcade contains the tracks on which the different trains enter and leave the depot. The roof of this portion is corrugated iron. The pile of buildings referred to is 164 feet long." The detailed description goes on to tell of the ticket office; separate ladies’ and mens’ sitting rooms, furnished with "marble wash-basins, mirrors, and other conveniences;" a dining room and bar room; telegraph office, baggage room, and upstairs offices for a number of high-level railroad officers. "The dining room is an especially fine one," opined the authors. Their five-paragraph description of Arcade Station concluded that "The premises are well ventilated and lighted and have been constructed with the especial view of arranging everything for the comfort and convenience of the traveling public and the officers and employees of the Company."
