The main structure, which contains a main hall, ticket counters and offices, is primarily designed in a "Raj" styling, mixture of Western and [[Mughal Empire#Mughal influence on the Subcontinent|Mughal]] similar to [[Moorish Revival]] or [[Indo-Saracenic]] architecture, which enjoyed brief popularity in late-19th century and early 20th century [[British Raj|colonial India]], as well as Europe and the. Dominated by [[Horseshoe arch|horseshoe]] and [[Ogee|ogee arch]]es, and large [[chhatri]]s (six originally, with two added later) at the corners of the building accompanying smaller variations at the front, the station is comparable to the [[Sultan Abdul Samad Building]] and surrounding structures constructed around the [[Dataran Merdeka|Merdeka Square]] during the period. In addition to the main station building, a three-storey addition at the north wing was added early in its operation, adopting Westernised vernacular designs with surrounding venrendahs and [[segmental arch]]es of various widths. The facade of the station is completely plastered, as opposed to buildings of similar styles that opt for exposed brickwork, and painted in light colours (usually white or [[Cream (colour)|cream]]) throughout its service.
