Description
Maxwell Park Station in Glasgow was built in 1894 for the Caledonian Railway and is located on the northern part of the Cathcart circle. This station is a free-standing structure on an island platform and is part of a series of similar buildings, although only a few of these remain today, with another example being a single-storey version at Queen's Park.
The station features a tall, deep-eaved two-storey central section that connects to the roadway on either side via steel pedestrian bridges, as the railway is situated in a cutting at this location. The building is primarily constructed of timber and is extensively glazed, with a slate roof. The main roof of the single-storey wings extends down to create a deep and continuous glazed canopy, with steps at the open ends. Large brackets support the roofs, and there are tall red ashlar chimney stacks. The bridge abutments are made of red rock-faced ashlar.
