Linstead Railway Station

Parish: St. Catherine

The Linstead Railway Station boasts a very simple Jamaica/Georgian style of architecture. On either side of the timber structure are covered passages.

The vented zinc hip roof with downward fishtail fretwork on the eaves is supported by timber posts with timber brackets. The doors used on this building are solid recessed panel timber doors with fixed louvered fanlights above.

Timber louver windows are also used throughout the building.
