Statement of Significance

The former Railway Worker's Cottage has some social and historic significance for its association with the construction and operation of the railway. Combined with the former Railway Station [Site No. 28], the Railway Barracks [Site No. 29], the former Station Master's House [Site No. 30], the Railway Crane and Ramp [Site No. 33] and the adjacent Railway Workers' Cottage [Site No. 32], the former Railway Worker's Cottage contributes to a precinct which illustrates the role and importance of the railway to the Cue township.

Physical Description

Located immediately south of the former Railway Master's House [Site No. 31], this former Railway Worker's cottage was of stone construction with a hipped corrugated iron roof. A verandah supported on timber posts encircles the building, with the north-east corner enclosed with weatherboards. Now Demolished.
