Condition
Perth Railway Station was constructed in several stages but an intended additional floor and central tower were never commenced. The paint coat obscures the original red-brick and stucco decoration which were typical of the classically derived buildings of the period. The original ground floor arcades have been enclosed. An important townscape element closing the vista from Forrest Place and, with the Horseshoe Bridge, creating a meandering boundary to the station forecourt.
