| Last updated on - August 27, 2004 The Stawell Railway Station building, platform and Goods Shed has significance as a broad representation of a "Creswick" style railway station complex erected as part of the "Light Lines" era initially in 1876 and substantially extended in 1888. The Station Railway Station forms part of the Melbourne and Serviceton line. Although the original Signal Box, Lamp Room and Carriage Dock have all been removed, the Stawell complex is also significant as a particularly elaborate and flamboyant example of the "Creswick" style, reflecting the importance of Stawell in the 19th century as a pre-eminent gold mining centre and as a marshalling and locomotive changeover point on the main line to Adelaide. The Stawell Railway Station complex is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. The Main Station building demonstrates original and early design qualities of a mid Victorian, Classical Revival style. These qualities include the tuckpointed polychromatic brick wall construction, central two storey hipped roof form punctuated by central gables, and flanking single storey hipped roof wings. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the slate and galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, narrow eaves with decorative timber brackets, eleven polychromatic brick chimneys, projecting platform verandah supported by round and fluted cast iron columns with decorative capitals, cream brick quoinwork, dark brick and rendered bands, rendered lintels, and the timber framed windows and doors. The Goods Shed demonstrates original design qualities of a mid Victorian style. These qualities include the gabled roof form, broad cantilevering verandahs supported by curved brackets and three-quarter length gabled ridge ventilator (with clerestorey glazing). Other intact or appropriate qualities include the single storey height, face brick wall construction, three bayed composition of the gable ends with projecting pilasters, and the galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding. The Stawell Railway Station complex is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the infrastructure development of railway construction during the "Light Lines" era in the 1870s and 1880s. In particular, the Stawell complex has associations with railway construction in 1876 and 1888, with the work being carried out by J.W. Linacre. The Stawell complex is also a legacy of the pre-eminent status of the town in the 19th century as a gold mining centre, and as a marshalling and locomotive changeover point on the main line to Adelaide. The Stawell Railway Station complex is socially significant at a LOCAL level. It is still recognised and valued by the Stawell community as an important 19th and 20th century infrastructure link with the rest of Victoria. Overall, the Stawell Railway Stati |
