The Amtrak stop at Fort Edward consists of a concrete platform adjacent to the historic Delaware and Hudson Railway (D&H) depot, which is the third depot built to serve the town.

The station today features brick construction to window sill height with wooden framing above. In late Victorian style, it possesses elegant wooden brackets supporting deep eaves and ornate roof dormers. A unique polygonal south end forms the waiting room. The roof is capped with a pyramidal cupola on its slates, and the edges of the hipped slate roof are curved tin. The station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

The former waiting room is now used for community meetings and events, including musical entertainments, charitable functions and fundraisers.
