Gradings

This structure, being part of the larger NZASM endeavour, falls under the generic NZASM statement of significance, but specifically is also a good extant example of its type. Its importance lies in its associations with South Africa's community, heritage, and is considered uncommon, rare and endangered; it has the potential to yield information for understanding; as an object it demonstrates principal characteristics; has particular aesthetic characteristics; demonstrates a high degree of technical achievement; has strong and special associations with both historic and contemporaneous communities; has a special association with the life and work of an important organisation and its associated persons; and is significant in revealing labour practices of the time; all as they relate to the culture of South Africa and her international cultural historic affiliates. It is a scarce example of a novel design with high aesthetic value and authenticity. The structure forms part of what can be seen as a heritage area. (Government Gazette Notice 1307 of 1983. Historic and architectural interest. This railway station building was completed in 1897 by the Nederlandsche Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg-Maatschappij and is one of only a few elegant station buildings erected by the NZASM. For approximately nine years the Klerksdorp station remained the western terminus of the so-called South-Western line and as such it held an important place in the Transvaal railway network. The Old Flag Room was erected in the same style as the station building.')
