Station Master’s House Leonora is a simple vernacular interpretation of the Federation Bungalow style which was part of a railway complex constructed in 1902 by the Public Works Department as a result of the extension of the narrow gauge Eastern Goldfields line from Menzies during the gold boom period of the early 1900s. The Leonora railway station complex also included a galvanized iron station building, goods shed, ‘out of’ shed and porter’s house, which are not extant.

In the 1950s, Station Master’s House, accommodated part of Leonora’s large community of railway employees, which included post-World War Two European migrants working as part of bonded immigration arrangements.

The Station Master’s House was constructed in 1902 for the occupation of the Station Master at Leonora, and was occupied by him until 1975, when a more modern residence was provided in the town. The place has since been continuously occupied by other railway workers, except for a three-year period in 1979-1982 when it was rented privately.
