New Australian Electric Lighting Co. Power Station, Former - Physical Description 1
The former Richmond Power Station is a complex of buildings including the former Engine House (1891), Boiler House (c. 1891-1913), and Offices and Workshops Building (1891-1922).
The Offices are located at the north-west corner of the site. It is a two-storey bichromatic brick building, with a hipped roof concealed behind a parapet. Walls are of red brick, with a series of cream brick string courses running across the north and west elevations. The two storeys are divided by a rendered string course. Windows are semi-circular arched double-hung sashes, with bluestone sills and alternating red and cream brick voussoirs. There is a simple moulded cornice at first floor level.
The adjacent former Engine House has a four-storey tower and a three-storey gabled section facing Oddy's Lane. The building is of red brick, with similar cream brick string courses. A moulded entablature divides the ground and first floors. Windows are semi-circular arched, and have rendered hood moulds at first floor level. The gable end has a heavy rendered moulding, and the tower is surmounted by a bracketed hipped corrugated iron roof.
The Boiler room is located at the south-west corner of the site, facing Oddy's Lane. The single storey building is of red brick construction, with cream brick string courses and a moulded cornice. A broad gable surmounts the cornice, adjacent to which is a two-storey parapeted section without windows. Openings at ground floor level are blind semi-circular arches.New Australian Electric Lighting Co. Power Station, Former - Integrity
