Ballarat Railway Complex Carriage/Engine Sheds - Physical Description 1
The contract for the construction of the first section was dated 20.5.1862, the contract ~um being £5,284. 9s .0d. with S.Amess, who constructed the adjacent platform shed, being the contractor. The early photograph of the Station shows only the southern gabled section, the northern section presumably built in the late 1860's or early 1870's. Galvanised iron additions were completed in the early 1880's by Morris and Begg. This large building is constructed in two gabled sections with a small transverse gable on the southern elevation. It is enclosed on the North West and south sides. A series of simple arched windows and larger blind arcades are the only decorative elements. It is a much more elaborate building than the contemporary goods sheds to the north, and is sited in a dramatic position on the railways embankment adjacent to the Station tower. This building is of major importance as a large utilitarian bluestone structure, typical of many on the Ballarat-Geelong line, and Melbourne to Bendigo line near Malmsbury. It is notable for its scale and its function as part of a rail terminal of major architectural and historic merit.
