Dunedin Railway Station

Good enough to eat (well almost), the Dunedin Railway Station is known to locals as the 'Gingerbread House' because of its grandiose style, rich embellishments and sheer size. Architect George A. Troup designed the buildings in 1906 in the Flemish Renaissance style, similar to that of Otago University and the nearby law courts.

The station is built of Kokonga basalt with Oamaru limestone facings incorporating a variety of shapes, textures and additional materials. The building went through a major restoration in 1999 to bring it back to its former glory.
