Dunedin Railway Station - Otago, South Island in New Zealand

Dunedin Railway Station

History & Culture in the Dunedin Region
The size, architecture and rich embellishments of Dunedin Railway station have earned it fame as a “Gingerbread House”.

The ‘Gingerbread House’ Glory of Dunedin Railway Station
Dunedin Railway Station was opened in 1906. Its sheer size, grandiose style and rich embellishments earned architect George A. Troup the nickname of ''Gingerbread George''. Troup designed the Dunedin station in the Flemish Renaissance style, similar to that of Otago University and the nearby Law Courts. It is built of Kokonga basalt with Oamaru limestone facings and incorporates a variety of shapes, textures and materials. The building went through a major restoration in 1999 to bring it back to its former glory.
