12 Station Street Buildings

No 12 Station Street Buildings is an early 20th-century structure designed by John Hatchard-Smith. It is built of ashlar and consists of two storeys with a basement, rising to three storeys on St Peter's Street. The building features a modillion eaves cornice and an openwork parapet. The ground and first floors are rusticated, while the second floor is distinguished by Ionic three-quarter columns supporting an entablature.

On the St Peter's Street side, the central bay and two symmetrically placed bays on the Station Street side project forward and are topped with swan's neck pediments at the eaves cornice level. Above these, there are steep-pitched shaped gables with oval oculi. The corner of the building has a round turret that is corbelled out at the first-floor level, featuring three orders of attached pilasters and a steep pyramidal roof with an open lantern and finial.

The building has seven ranges of casement windows facing St Peter's Street and ten facing Station Street. The ground floor windows are round-arched, the first-floor windows have mullion and transom crosses, and the second-floor windows are paired with transoms and depressed arched heads. The windows on the projecting bays are three-light.

On the St Peter's Street side, there is a door with six moulded panels and a fanlight set in concave jambs, topped with a triangular pediment supported by large consoles. A similar door on the Station Street side has twelve panels and a broken pediment featuring a cartouche with a device. The rounded corner at the south end includes a door accessed by a flight of steps, with ornamental cast iron railings that terminate at the street end in a monolithic stone pier.
