History

Old Station Building

The old station building, restored by the Papatoetoe Railway Station Preservation Trust, has been moved to the corner of Station Road, Shirley Road, Tavern Lane & St George Street. Parts of this building dated back to 1875. A new station was constructed on the present site.

The old station is an integral part of the area's history, with "Old Papatoetoe" developing as a commercial centre.
