Place & story

From railway building to residence

Cappoquin railway station opened in 1878 and closed in 1967. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage records its later conversion to residential use and renovation around 2000. The building combines single- and two-storey sections, a dormer attic and a platform veranda supported by cast-iron columns with foliage-decorated capitals. The former platform survives beside landscaped ground occupying the railway’s route. Recorded in 2003, these features show how a railway building could retain much of its form while taking on a new use. [2]
