In 1870 Strelice railways built a new station and administrative-dispatch building. The building was carried out according to the typical model project of II-store buildings with a restaurant, which was designed by architect Karl Shuman and engineer Karl von Rupert in 1868-1869. It was a two-story rectangular building with a three-axis central portico, covered with a gable roof. Bull's-eye shields on the sides and on the cornice, decorated with dentils of red unplastered burnt bricks. The building is divided by a high cornice, a profiled parapet cornice under the windows of the first floor and a profiled cornice. The windows and the entrance are decorated with red brick bands. In the 1870s the facades were reconstructed, which preserved the architectural structure, including the details. The building has remained to this day almost unchanged externally.
Two simple (one - quite a few details) building models, that would be perfect for a railway diorama or as individual architectural models in a paper model exhibition or competition. The models are so simple, that, even beginners and modelers with little experience, can assemble them without any help from more experienced colleagues. But working in a team is more fun...
