The wall is terminated by a coping of Spanish tiles, laid perpendicular to the parapet. The center portion of the parapet above the entry bay steps up slightly with the coping running along the wall. The side facades are identical to each other. The facades are flat with the exposed concrete basement wall and the stucco-surfaced main floor wall. Three window bays divide each facade. Fixed eight-light wood sash windows are set in the basement wall (covered by aluminum-framed storm windows) . The main-floor windows are identical to those of the front facade. As in the front, rectangular grilles of agricultural-drainage tiles are aligned over the window bays. The parapet treatment is also identical to the front facade.

Two double loading doors open to the rear of the platform, a pedestrian door provides access to the west side, and a four-light wood sash window is in the east side. Triplet three-light windows (fixed), separated by thickened wooden mullions, are set above the platform roof.
