Description

Troon Station, designed by James Miller in 1892, features two single-storey gabled office and service blocks that flank the central rail line. The west block has 13 bays arranged in a pattern of 6, 1, and 6, with the central section advanced. The east block consists of 6 bays, with blind wings that are recessed to the outer left and right. The exterior is finished in whitewashed harl with applied timber framing, raised base courses, overhanging timber bracketed eaves, and corniced eaves with pilastered bays on the outer left and right of the east block. The timber framing is regularly spaced, showcasing rectangular panels at both lower and upper levels, with friezes that include octagonal and square panels connecting the mullioned and transomed windows at the upper-light levels. A replacement footbridge is located to the north.

On the southwest (entrance) elevation of the west block, there is a tripartite window centered at the ground level within an advanced gabled porch, with an entrance located in the re-entrant angle to the left. The bays flanking the center feature single and tripartite windows, with three bracketed gables breaking the eaves above.

The northeast (entrance) elevation of the east block displays two tripartite windows beneath bracketed gables that break the eaves at the center. To the right, there are single windows in two bays, a bipartite window in the left bay, and a small light in the outer left bay. The wings to the outer left and right have blind pilastered bays that are recessed.

The platforms are characterized by boarded timber and glazed elevations, with pilastered bays and full entablatures. A series of low glazed pyramidal roofs provide full-length shelters, linked by riveted steel girders that span the rail lines. These roofs feature decorative brackets and regularly spaced quatrefoil and circular frieze stenciling, along with foliate finials. The clock on the west platform has a curvilinear bracket detail.

The glazing predominantly consists of 4-pane upper and 2-pane lower timber casements, with reinforced glazing in the pyramidal shelters. The roofs are covered with grey slate and clay tile ridging, and the building features cast-iron rainwater goods.
