The whole complex of the Babi Dół station was built in the 1920s during the construction of the main coal line from Silesia to Gdynia. Both main buildings and auxiliary buildings (warehouse and toilets) were built in dominating in those times "national" style, which resembles architecture from the region of Lublin and Kazimierz. Nowadays the building is closed and serves as living quarters. No ticket office is available at the station.
An non-operational signal box building is located nearby the station. The building is largely devastated, lacking even doors or windows. No overway or underway was ever present at this station.
