This railway station building of sandstone was completed shortly before the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902). It is one of only a few station buildings erected during the Republican period and forms an important link with the Orange Free State railway system of the nineteenth century. During the Battle of Sannaspos on 31 March 1900 the building provided shelter for the Q Battery of the Royal Horse Artillery against the rifle fire of the Boer force.
