About the Building

The Thirroul Railway Crew Barracks was constructed in 1913- 1915 to house the sleeping quarters for the drivers, fireman and guards of the steam trains that passed through the Thirroul depot. It has since been the pay office and later on workspace for the tradesmen who serviced the stations.

It became vacant in the late 1900’s. The building has continually been used as artists’ studios since the end of 1997 when it was occupied by Barracks Artists Inc. then Barracks Art Studios Thirroul Inc. in 2011.
