Condition

Menzies Railway Station Precinct is in fair condition. There is evidence of recent restoration and painting works on both the interior and exterior and roofs of the three Platelayer's Cottages. The Station Master's House show evidence of cracking, previous repairs and fretting stone and mortar particularly on the walls around the north corner, and also general stone damage around the base perimeter of the walls, and the chimney. The Station Building shows evidence of intervention (repairs) to the stone walls, particularly on the platform walls in the vicinity of the luggage entrance.
