Description

St Thomas Railway Station, built around 1850 for the South Devon Railway and designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, is a two-storey stucco building. The central part of the main front projects outward and features eight round-headed windows with label moulds on the first floor. The ground floor has five openings beneath a canopy supported by cast iron cantilever brackets, with lunette windows above the canopy. The side blocks are also two storeys high and have three windows, one of which includes a covered area with cast iron Tuscan columns and rusticated piers at the corners. The building is topped with a slate roof.
