Description
East Station, located on Maisondieu Road in Elgin, was designed by P M Barnett, Engineer-in-Chief of the Great North of Scotland Railway, and completed in 1898. This building showcases a Scottish Baronial style and consists of two storeys and an attic, featuring an asymmetrical façade with 12 bays. The exterior is constructed of stugged ashlar with a battered bullfaced basecourse.
The central four bays include the entrance booking hall, which is covered by a glazed canopy on the ground floor. The building is adorned with a crenellated parapet and gabled windows, flanked by advanced gabled bays. The ground floor features two mullioned windows with segmental arches and hoodmoulds, while the first floor has canted oriel windows and one small gable window with a hoodmould. At the northwest corner, there is a single bay and drum tower that incorporates the entrance to the Station Master's dwelling, topped with a fish-scaled slated conical roof and a weathervane. The gables are crowstepped, and the building has corniced ridge and end stacks, with slate roofs.
Inside, the main booking hall is accessed through panelled double doors and is illuminated by a domed top light. The hall features original pine panelling, pediments on all doors, a booking office, Art Nouveau stained glass, and enriched plaster ribs on the coved ceiling. Additionally, there is a glazed cast-iron canopy over the platform.
