Appraisal
This attractive station building is typical of the finely built structures associated with nineteenth-century railways. The simple cut stone dressings to doorways and windows show attention to detail, which is indicative of good-quality Victorian architecture. Dromod Station continues to be used and is surrounded by other structures connected to the railway.
