Details Former railway station booking office dated 1909. The street elevation is a tall single-storey classical former booking office with a distinctive canted corner. There are two storeys to the rear connecting to platform level. Built of grey granite, channelled rustication to street level with contrasting deep polished granite base course. There is a deep cornice above doors and at the wallhead, and a parapet, balustraded at the corner. The flat roof has a central pyramidal glazed skylight with decorative timber lantern. The building was the booking office and waiting rooms for the suburban railway network. It was built after the Joint Station became inadequate for the amount of traffic and improvements included the building of new platforms west of the station in 1908 primarily for suburban trains. The suburban service closed in 1937 and the building has been converted to commercial use. Photographic survey was carried out by RCAHMS in May 1999.
