The current stone buildings date from 1878/79 and replace earlier wooden buildings that had been dismantled and reused elsewhere on the railway. The goods shed was added in 1880. In 1975 the buildings were connected by a major extension. Passenger facilities include a booking and information office, a large tourist and hobby shop and a restaurant with bar. The platform canopy was completed in 1988.
Harbor Station is the headquarters and operational headquarters of the Festiniog Railway Company, commonly known as Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways.

Porthmadog Harbour railway station (formerly known as Portmadoc Harbour railway station) in Porthmadog (formerly Portmadoc), Gwynedd (formerly Merioneth), North Wales. It is the passenger terminus of two narrow gauge railways: the Ffestiniog Railway, which was opened in 1836 to carry dressed slate from the Quarries around Blaenau Ffestiniog to the sea port of Porthmadog, for export by sea; and the Welsh Highland Railway, incorporated in 1923, which ran to Dinas. After rebuilding in 1997-2011, the other terminus is at Caernarfon, in sight of the Castle.
