History

The Kondinin Railway Station was constructed in 1921, and at
that time a Stationmaster would have been employed. It was usual practice for the Railways
Department to provide accomodation for the Stationmaster. This place is opposite the railway line and
the station, and was constructed about the same time as the station. The first Stationmaster was
Charlie Allardyce.
Allardyce was the Master of Ceremonies for the dances, and was very strict. He also
administered first aid, in the absence of a doctor.
When the Kondinin branch of the CWA formed in 1924, the meetings were held at the
Stationmaster's house until their own rooms were built in Rankin Street (see Ref. No. 20)
