Cowra Railway Station (former) - built 1886 - see below

Cowra was reached by rail in 1886 from Young and linked to Blayney in 1888, forming the first cross country line. The station complex forms an interesting and complete group of buildings that illustrate the importance of the location through the development of the site, particularly the station building. Many periods of construction in varying styles are evident within the group and in the station buildings making the present structures unique. The complex forms an important civic group on one of the major approaches to Cowra having a strong relationship to the town and the nearby locomotive facilities. The station building is a significant civic structure within the town. The Institute building is one of the few remaining in the state and is of high significance for its social value in illustrating the importance of the railways to not only the work but the social, education and entertainment life of employees and their families. The examiners hut is a rare early example of such a building and is of high significance. The forecourt parking area (although the surface treatment has altered from the original) and grounds are of significance due to their connecting the streetscape and to the station complex. The site is in close proximity to the Cowra Locomotive Depot which is one of the few active remaining locomotive depots in the state. This association enhances the significance of both groups of structures.
