| DESCRIPTION |

North Adelaide Railway Station [The associated Signal Cabin was destroyed by fire c1990] |
| Registered Name |
Railway Station - North Adelaide and Signal Box |
| Significance |
Opened in 1857, North Adelaide is the third-oldest railway station building in the State, after Bowden and Alberton, and is the only surviving original station building on the Adelaide - Gawler line, which opened to Gawler in 1857 and was extended to Kapunda in 1860.
The Register of the National Estate citation records that 'the design is of interest to architectural history for the way it combines a typical mid-Victorian four room cottage under the same roof with the Station's business functions, in a way that presents a symmetrical front to both portions. This variation on the station with residence theme may be compared with early NSW and Victorian stations which, if they did incorporate residences, were usually two storey (eg on the Geelong-Ballarat line, 1862) and it contrasts with later nineteenth century station buildings where standard designs with detached residences became more common. It also contrasts with Bowden and Alberton stations, which had no attached residences.' |
