Summary

Quorn Railway Station. The contract to build the new station was let to Mr F. Fricker of Queenstown for 2,862 pounds, with work commencing on 29 July 1914. The old timber station was replaced by this stone and brick structure in 1916. The white sandstone walls came from A.C. Williams' quarry and the bricks were made at Harradine's Clay Pit and Brick Kiln. Local stone and locally manufactured brick were used to built the Quorn Railway Station. Dutch gables, believed to be designed by the Resident Engineer Frank Yeomans, are a unique feature.
