NZASM Rand Tram Railway Station Roodepoort, Gauteng NZASM: Nederlandsche Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg-Maatschappij: Architect

Date: 1896 Type: Railway Station Status: Demolished

Towards the end of 1896 work started on the construction of a brick station building at Roodepoort, replacing the original corrugated iron halt building. Very little is known about this structure. Photographs show that its design was similar to that of Jeppe Station.
