Almaden Station

During Almaden's heyday in the early 1900s a large number of railway employees and their families boosted the population of the town that today is almost deserted. Three hotels, three stores, several shops and a post office were built in this period. The railway town's importance continued until the closure of the Chillagoe Smelters in the mid-1940s. The historic Railway Hotel still trades today.
