History
The current station building was erected in 1890 with 25-rooms and a clock tower, of red brick with stucco trimming.[ [http://www.smh.com.au/news/Victoria/Maryborough/2005/02/17/1108500206911.html Sydney Morning Herald - 'Travel: Maryborough' - October 10, 2007] ] In 1895, Mark Twain visited Maryborough - which he dryly observed was: "A railway station with a town attached". [ [http://www.marktwain.com.au/pages/news.html he Official Australian Mark Twain Society website] ] ]A $1.6 million restoration of Maryborough Station was carried out in 2006 / 2007, with repairs to the towers, clock, facade, portico, roof and guttering. Stage 2 included slating, rendering, glazing and moulding repairs to match the works conducted during the first stage of works.
