1873 Roma Street railway station building

The Roma Street railway station building features a two-story structure with wooden platforms and classical design elements reflecting 19th-century architectural standards.

Built between 1873 and 1875, this station served as Brisbane's first railway terminus, connecting the city to Ipswich and extending transport networks across Queensland.

The station building represents a period of railway expansion in Queensland, with local materials including Brisbane-sourced clay bricks and regional freestone for decorative elements.

The station building remains part of an active transport hub, connecting multiple railway lines and providing access to long-distance train services across Queensland.

This structure stands as the oldest surviving railway station building in any Australian capital city, maintaining much of its original architectural features.
