This station may not possess any great artistic ornaments, but its spacious volume is decorated in bright, cheerful colours, giving a very agreeable impression to travelers.
The high central volume is expanded in width as well as height; the walls slant from the mezzanine out to either side of the volume, making it octagonal. This geometry is attractive and eye-catching, and is complemented by the bridge, staircases, and widely-spaced pillars and seats set forward from the walls.

The areas extending in tunnel from the central volume are much simpler in design, clad in pale yellow tiles. The distinction between the volume and the caverns is heightened by the high, flat bulkhead wall over the arch of the caverns.
The control zone is situated at the foot of the staircases, leading directly to the bridge over the rails.

The entrance pavillion, situated near the end of the Viaduc Rosemont-Van Horne, is the terminus of several bus lines. It is adapted for this function with handsome canopies extending from the dark slate-coloured building and carrying on the lines of the large curved window at the front. The site also includes a municipal parking lot and, in summer, a 24-hour open-air market.
