It is a 50 by 140 feet (15 m × 43 m) building with 18 inches (0.46 m) thick walls made of sandstone rubble. In 1979 the building was "shaded on the north by an enormous cottonwood". On its gable front there is a round window with the words "R. H. Cowan Livery Stable" above, and, in 1979 it also showed "1883", although the date of construction was not fully readable.
