Eveleigh Chief Mechanical Engineer's office
Eveleigh Chief Mechanical Engineer's office, Heritage-listed office building in Redfern, Australia.
The Eveleigh Chief Mechanical Engineer's office stands on Wilson Street, featuring marble mantelpieces, decorative plaster cornices, and timber panelled doors inside its Victorian architecture.
Constructed in 1887 during the expansion of Eveleigh Workshops, the building doubled in size around 1900 to accommodate the growing railway administration needs.
The office represented a center of technical innovation where Chief Mechanical Engineers designed locomotives and managed thousands of railway workers across New South Wales.
The building, owned by Transport for New South Wales, requires substantial renovation as both its exterior and interior conditions have deteriorated over recent decades.
Notable figures including future Prime Minister Ben Chifley and Premier Joseph Cahill started their careers under the administration of this engineering office.
