Description
The Station Building dates from the 19th century and is constructed in a Gothic style. It was originally part of Clapham Station, and still adjoins the platform. The building is now partly used as a dress manufacturer's workshop and partly disused.
The building comprises a two-part arrangement. The forebuilding is a square, two-storey block with a two-window facade. It has a pyramidal slate roof and a moulded wooden eaves cornice. The rear range is a single-storey structure of ten bays, with a low-pitched hip-ended slate roof and boxed eaves.
The building exhibits structural polychromy. It has a stock brick background with a black brick plinth and a dado of pale terracotta with a darker rail. Pale terracotta flush bands are present, with darker terracotta impost strings springing from the pointed relieving arches of Tudor-arched doorways. The tympana of these doorways contain herringbone brickwork. The doorways are paired, with a small pointed window between each pair. There are two Tudor-arched windows and two smaller pointed windows at either side. The arches are red brick with an outer arch of black headers, key stones, and impost blocks of terracotta with incised trefoils. Further details include a red terracotta string course and a red brick eaves corbel table. A smaller, similar extension is located to the south, featuring a brick balustraded top screen. The chimneys are polychrome, with offsets, and wrought iron angle brackets are present. The window sashes have 13th-century style shouldered heads.
