LAKE GRACE STATIONMASTERS HOUSE / VISITORS INFORMATION CENTRE
Opening Hours
Monday to Friday
10.00 am to 4.00 pm
The Lake Grace Stationmaster's House, located on Stubbs Street in the centre of Lake Grace, was originally built in 1924 as a residence for the manager of the nearby Railway Station. Following the closure of the railway in 1987, the building fell into a state of disuse and disrepair.
Western Australian Government Railways initiated transfer of ownership of the building to the Shire of Lake Grace in 2002, and the Lake Grace Development Association formed plans to convert the building into a Visitors Information Centre.
The Stationmaster's House Action Group volunteers actively restored the building
and grounds over the next few years.
In 2004, Lake Grace Development Association opened the building as the Lake Grace Visitors
Information Centre.
This project would not have been possible without the funding provided by LotteryWest, who contributed $6,500 toward the Conservation Plan and $19,500 for restoration and renovation works.
The Wheatbelt Area Consultative Committee, through the Town Centre Project, also funded $7,500 for restoration works and provided funds for a feasibility study.
