Railway Terrace, variegated rubble and brick group of railway workers' cottages, presumably contemporary with station. Station, engineer Murdoch Paterson, 1897 Pierhead terminus building with canopies supported on fluted cast-iron columns with decorative capitals and brackets. The island platforms are approached by a long ramped roadway, and the rail lines flanked by massive quays.
