The Ivanhoe Station is one of several late nineteenth century stations including Heidelberg and Eaglemont. (Criterion A)
The main station building is of local historic and architectural significance as a typical example of the Macedon sub-group of the 'Gisborne' style of railway station, constructed at several locations across Victoria by the Public Works Department.

Ivanhoe Train Station - Physical Description 1
Ivanhoe Train Station is typical of the 'Gisborne' style of station buildings. The main station building is constructed of red brick with roughcast above a dado line placed at the same height as the bottom rail of the upper window sashes. The roof is tiled with a red brick and roughcast chimney. Gable ends are half-timbered, with timber verticals place at regular intervals between roughcast infill. A modest porch covers the entryway to the main building, with three timber posts mounted on brick foundations, decorated with a curvilinear timber frieze. A redbrick wing is attached to the right of the entryway, presumably formerly functioning as a toilet block, and features a roughcast curvilinear parapet. A flat awning supported by steel brackets extends from the main building over the platform. A smaller station building on the opposite platform conforms to the style of the old building, being constructed of redbrick with roughcast above a dado line, tiled roof, and flat platform awning.
