The yard office was originally built in 1867 as a farm homestead. In 1873 that farm became the EBT's Rockhill Yard and the homestead housed the EBT's general offices. When Orbisonia Station was built this became the yard office. The leanto on the west side as well was added between 1904 and 1911, and was used in the later years to house compressed tanks.

The building is in reasonable condition and receives some maintenace. It is of a random stone construction with a frame roof. The front pitch of the roof is covered with grey shingles and the rear with red shingles.
