Description
Murthly Station and Railway Signal Box was built in 1898 for the Highland Railway and relocated from Inverness to Murthly in 1919. This two-storey, rectangular timber signal box sits on a brick plinth and features plank and strip weatherboard cladding, along with a projecting bracketed porch on the south side. It is adorned with ornamental barge boards, spear finials, droppers, and eaves edging, topped with a slate roof. The building has cast-iron ogee-shaped guttering and a similarly detailed projecting porch. To the north, there is an integral store constructed in the same style with a single-pitch roof.
On the trackside, there are four windows with 9-pane glazing in sliding timber frames that curve at the frame head. Additionally, there are two more windows at each gable end, which have been boarded since 2013.
Inside, the signal box contains a 16 lever Mackenzie and Holland frame.
