Albury at Night. 2

The platform at the Albury railway station

Canon 350D

Albury Railway Station was built during 1881-83 and was designed by NSW Government Railways Chief Engineer John Whitton. The building is symmetrical with a prominent central clock tower surmounted by a small cupola. The building is over 91 metres long and is constructed of polychrome brick which is relieved by stuccoed decoration marking out pilasters, arch lintels, pediments, architraves and string courses. There are some characteristics of Victorian Italianate style. The platform, notable for its great length (it is one of the longest in Australia), is built of cast iron with fluted columns and it has an iron roof. Internally, the building features an impressive domed main booking hall. The station is an imposing structure, one of the best of its type in Australia, located in a prominent position which makes it a fine city landmark in Albury. (AHC Register of the National Estate, 1978).

    This is a very interesting shot John, nice and sharp and great perspective. I see you have researched your subject well. I have spent some time in the car park waiting for cars and people to leave to get a shot of this magnificent station. To date I have had no success. Last time I was there one car sat with an occupant for 1.5 hours.. Oh well always next time, maybe next week when I visit Albury.

  • John Vandeven replied

    Thank you so much…Yes it is a very nice station.

    Although a bit over exposed, this is a wonderful shot. Thanks for taking the time to share the history with such detail. One of the things I like about this site is that it is in Australia. I love seeing the sites outside the US.
