Graceville Railway Station is heritage listed
For hundreds of commuters every day, Graceville Railway Station is just that: a railway station.
But the Queensland Heritage Council (QHC) has taken a different perspective, entering it in the Queensland heritage register.
"This listing is a lesson in the complexity of what is of state heritage significance," said QHC member, architect Peter Marquis-Kyle.
"It has not been listed because of its longevity – the rail line has gone through Graceville since the mid 1870s – but rather for the modernist 1950s design."
"Graceville Railway Station was part of a new wave of Modernist architecture experimented with throughout Queensland as post-war austerity gave way to economic prosperity.
"The butterfly-roofed platform awnings, terrazzo tiles to the waiting room and ticket hall floors, painted steel balustrade to the stairs leading from the subway, the terrazzo window sills, timber and concrete seating, tiled subway walls: these were all a deliberate departure from the traditional railway station design and was considered an exemplar. Now it’s the most original of its vintage between Corinda and Nundah."
Mr Marquis-Kyle said the heritage listing would not impact on Queensland Rail’s future needs to upgrade the signaling system or the overhead traction power equipment.
"Maintenance, repairs and upgrades will go on as normal, provided the culturally significant aspects of the station aren’t damaged," he said.
The Queensland Heritage Council is the state’s independent peak advisor on heritage matters.
