Like the GSW signal box at Annan (seen in the previous photograph) the station is also Category B listed by Historic Scotland. However, from this view, the canopy on the up platform looks in need of some attention! The main station and frontage are a different matter with Historic Scotland describing in its citation (Annan station) 'a particularly fine and well-detailed, Italianate influenced, mid-19th-century railway station in the South West region of Scotland'. They go on to say 'The ordered composition and massing of the building and use of good quality sandstone ashlar and other materials mark it out as an example within its building type.'
