Abstract:		 This report presents the results of a desk-based appraisal and building recording carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at The Old Station Master's House, Fowey, in Cornwall, in advance of the demolition and reinstatement of the property. The Old Station Master's House was built in the 1870s as part of the Cornwall Minerals Railway station at Fowey, and is the most prominent surviving part of the rail infrastructure of the town. The railway to Par was opened in 1874 and connected the china clay works at Par with the deep water harbours at Fowey. Passenger services were withdrawn in 1929, but the line only closed in 1965. It was replaced by a private haul road for English China Clays (now part of Imerys). The Old Station Master's House is a large structure in the Gothick Revival style with large, rusticated quoins, typical gothic arches and arched windows. It is complex example of the layered styles of the movement, with more unusual influences from the fringe of the architectural school. The deep overhanging eaves and decorative barge boards carried on wide arched brackets suggests an influence from the minor 'exotic' movement known as the Swiss Gothic, or Swiss Chalet, style. The shouldered-arch, three-light windows in the gabled wings are of 'Caernarfon lintel' form and shows influence from the Welsh Gothic and Scottish Baronial style. The front façade is visually dominant and impressive in scale and form. The building has been derelict for some time and is in a parlous state of repair. The prominent façades of structure will be retained and reconstructed, but the building is to be demolished and rebuilt on the same footprint.
