Statement of Significance
The Railway Goods Shed has high significance as one of the few remaining heritage places associated with the railway. The shed combined with the railway tank stand (Site No. 15), the railway dam and sidings are the only visual evidence of the railway which figured prominently in the development of Sandstone. The design is typical of utilitarian structures.
Physical Description
Large shed of timber frame construction with corrugated cladding. It has two large
entrances on the east and west facades, through which the train carriages would have passed. A door rail remains as evidence of the sliding door to the east facade. An additional opening with a sliding door in place is located on the southern facade The building has a sloping roof. The shed is constructed on two levels for ease of loading. The remains of a railway siding are located adjacent to the shed.
History
The railway was extended to Sandstone in 1910 and remained in operation until 1949. Originally the Railway Goods Shed was much larger. The Railway Station, a timber framed corrugated iron clad structure, has been demolished along with the Station Master's House.
