Description
The Former Station Cafe, now known as the Safari Building at Dudley Zoo, is a 20th-century structure with a rectangular plan and a small adjacent block at the south-west corner. It is constructed of reinforced concrete.
The exterior features a main elevation with five bays, separated by four evenly spaced entrances. Currently, only two of these entrances are open, with the others filled in. The active entrances have late 20th-century double doors. The overhanging roof slab is supported by nine-inch columns, with two columns per bay between the doorways, and concrete benches built around them. One bay retains its timber lattice, which is now glazed, while the others have been filled in. The south end wall also has a similar glazed lattice, while the opposite end wall is completely filled in.
Inside, the roof slab is supported by nine-inch diameter columns that carry concrete beams, with the main roof slab set flush with them. The interior features regular circular roof lights.
