This station is a good example of early Irish railway architecture. It was designed by J.S. Mulvany who also designed the Broadstone Station in Dublin. The first public train stopped here on August 1st, 1851, and the last on January 13th 1985 when Athlone Railway Station was transferred to the newly renovated 'Southern Station' on the Leinster side of Athlone.
