The New Flinders Street Railway Station Prize 1900
Architectural drawings of the new buildings at Flinders Street Railway Station Prize Winner 1900
This elevation is from a 10 part architectural drawing and print set made with ink and watercolour on paper by the first prize design competition winners, Fawcett and Ashworth. The £500 first prize was awarded in May 1900 and the design was implemented over the next 10 years until it was completed in 1910. It was coloured to represent the materials to be used as described in the report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Railways dated 1/10/00.
There was to be a roof over the platforms ‘supported by 12 columns’, of corrugated iron and with minimal amounts of glass to protect against the summer sun.
We love this print because you can explore and compare the small details of what was planned verses what was built.
