Roma Street Railway Station, Eastern elevation under framed roof

Queensland State Archives posted a photo:

The Roma Street Railway Station has high cultural significance having been the main Brisbane Station early in its history and the point of departure for many long-distance travellers for generations. The building is also architecturally important as an exceptional example of late 19th-century railway station architecture.

Over the years the building suffered haphazard renovations as well as from the lack of maintenance. Architectus in association with Michael Kennedy Heritage Architect worked with Queensland Rail and a team of consultants in the planning of the Stage One Stabilisation Works which commenced in 2011, and started onsite in 2012. The works involved making the whole building structurally sound and watertight, as well as the restoration and reconstruction of external elements on the upper floor.
