Description

The Station Hotel, located on Leonard Street in Perth, was designed by Andrew Heiton (Junior) and completed in 1885. This large, three-storey building with an attic features an asymmetric Flemish Gothic style and has eight bays on its main entrance elevation. It is characterized by crow-stepped gables and an octagonal corner tower with a conical roof and bellcast eaves, positioned directly opposite the railway station. The exterior is constructed of stugged ashlar with contrasting red sandstone margins and band courses, featuring a chamfered base course, cill course, eaves course, and cornice. The windows are bi and tripartite with stone mullions and transoms, some adorned with Gothic tracery decoration above. Small dormers with piend roofs and stone finials on the gables add to the architectural detail. There are also later single-storey additions.

The principal elevation facing south has an advanced entrance bay on the far left, which includes a segmental-arched doorway with a part-glazed central door and sidelights, as well as an internal part-glazed revolving door. To the right, there is a full-height turret with a slated conical roof set into a re-entrant angle, and on the far right, a full-height polygonal angle turret. A rectangular plaque displaying the City of Perth crest is located to the ground right.

The windows are predominantly six-pane over plate glass timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slates, featuring fish-scale slates on the turret roof in the re-entrant angle and banded fish-scale slates on the far right turret roof. The building has corniced wallhead and ridge stacks.

To the northeast, there are a pair of polygonal Gothic gatepiers topped with polygonal pyramidal caps.
