Railway Station, Park Road, Brechin

The building is a railway station, constructed in 1847-8 with substantial additions made in 1897-8 by Thomas Barr, District Engineer, Perth. An earlier section exists to the north, in an Italianate style, featuring a two-story, three-bay central section, accompanied by single-story structures and a screen wall to the left and right. The original openings are predominantly architraved. A later single-story, seven-bay section was added to the west in 1894-5, notable for its full-length glass canopy supported by cast-iron columns and brackets. The building is primarily constructed from squared snecked rubble with dressed margins, while the two-story section and adjacent single-story ranges showcase coursed squared rubble.

The north elevation features a two-story, three-bay central section with a tripartite window and flanking doors on the ground floor, and a tripartite centre window with flanking windows above. Round-headed ground floor openings are present, and it incorporates rusticated quoins, a base course, a band course between ground and first floors, a consoled cill course, an eaves band, a cornice, and a slate piended platform roof. To the left of the central section is a single-story, three-bay section with round-headed openings, a base course, eaves band, parapet, and piended slate roof. A single-story recessed range adjoins the central section to the right. A high screen wall extends to the rear.

The west elevation displays a seven-bay, single-story block with doors in the fifth and sixth bays from the left and bipartite windows in the remaining bays. A base course and eaves band with a parapet, concealing a slate piended roof, are present. A round-headed projection with a ball finial, housing a clock, rises above the centre of the parapet. A projecting, six-bay piended glass canopy, supported by cast-iron columns and spandrel brackets, fronts the west elevation. A semicircular concourse is bounded by a squared snecked rubble wall topped with coping and cast-iron railings, featuring central steps with wrought-iron overthrows and flanking cast-iron lamp standards.

The platforms formerly supported a pitched glazed canopy via cast-iron columns and spandrel brackets, which is no longer extant. The 1894-5 section has predominantly two-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, while the 1847-8 sections largely feature eight-pane glazing, with ten-pane glazing in the round-headed windows. Primarily timber sash and case windows are employed throughout. Numerous wallhead stacks exist on both sections of the building, constructed from a mix of corniced rendered stone and brick, with octagonal and round cans.

A former goods shed, dating to circa 1848, is located immediately south of the platform buildings. This is a long, rectangular, single-story building constructed from snecked squared rubble. The north elevation has nine bays, with large segmentally arched openings in the second, fifth, and eighth bays from the left. Single bay east and west elevations feature large segmentally-headed openings. The south elevation has nine bays, each with paired round-headed openings, now blocked with brick and raised voussoirs. A modern asbestos pitched roof covers the building, with predominantly non-original timber-boarded doors in the large openings.
