Flinders Street Station is the central railway station of the suburban railway network of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is on the corner of Flinders and Swanston Streets next to the Yarra River. Flinders Street Station is a cultural icon to Melbourne, [3] frequently used in imagery representing the city. The station is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. A design competition was held in 1899 with 17 entries received. The £500 first prize went to railway employees James Fawcett and H. P. C. Ashworth of Fawcett and Ashworth in 1899, whose design named Green Light was of French Renaissance style, and included a large dome and tall clock tower. In 1905 work began on the station building itself. The verandah along Flinders Street and the concourse roof and verandah along Swanston Street were not completed until after the official opening in 1910.
