Another visit to Tempe Railway Station

   

         

Last week I sketched the upper ticket office at Tempe Railway station and felt very excited and enthusiastic about the heritage buildings.  I returned there this morning and went down to the original platforms to sketch one of the 1884 station houses.  Being early Saturday morning here weren't many people about but I did have a good conversation with the station master who appeared to enjoy what I was doing.

The original station master's house is seen to the left of platform 3, see above sketch for it's location. You can see the chimneys.  I went around to the front of it, sitting under a tree surrounded by foliage to sketch this.
