Description

The Slough Station Area Manager's Office, Traffic Assistant's Office, and Red Star Parcels Office is a station building constructed in 1882 by J.E. Danks, designed in a Second Empire style. It features red brick with grey brick and stone dressings, along with lacing courses. The structure consists of a central block flanked by two smaller pavilions, all topped with laminated timber pavilion roofs covered in zinc fish-scale tiles and linked by blocks with corrugated iron roofs.

The central block is a single storey and includes unfluted pilaster strips that rise to a dentil cornice and a moulded gutter, topped with acroteria. It has three oeil de boeuf attic windows adorned with shells above them, and a wrought iron balustrade surrounds the flat central roof area. The block has four bays, featuring centre-hung casements, with paired windows in the two central bays, and half-glazed double doors located in the left-hand bay.

The linking blocks each have one ridge stack with an oversailing top and also consist of four bays with centre-hung casements, either paired or single. The left-hand block has half-glazed double doors in the right-hand bay, while the right-hand block features two wooden gates in its right-hand bay. A continuous canopy in front of the central and linking blocks is supported by open cast iron brackets.

The outer blocks are also single storey, featuring unfluted pilaster strips that rise to a dentil cornice and a moulded gutter with trefoiled acroteria above. They have three oeil de boeuf attic windows with shells above, and a wrought iron balustrade surrounds the flat central roof. Each block has end stacks on the inner faces with oversailing tops and consists of three bays with tall paired centre-hung casements.
