The original Fremantle railway station was constructed in 1881 next to Cliff Street. Following the extension of the Eastern Railway to Kalgoorlie in 1896, the station was an important hub for gold miners arriving in Western Australia via ship and then travelling to the Yilgarn and Eastern goldfields. In 1907 the station was moved to its present location to better service the newly constructed Fremantle Port. It was designed by William Dartnell, Chief Engineer of Existing Lines of the Railway Department, in 1906. It features Donnybrook stone construction on the façade with red face brick infill panels on a Donnybrook stone plinth, in Federation Free Classical style featuring a rare example of a large train hall roof. The station was built by S.B. Alexander and completed on 20 April 1907 with the official opening on 1 July 1907. The facade remained unpainted (except for metalwork and timberwork) until it was painted in 1950[3].
The Fremantle line was closed by the State Government in September 1979. It re-opened in July 1983.
The station was classified by the National Trust in 1974 and entered into the Heritage Council of Western Australia's Register of Heritage Places in 2001[4]. A rationalisation of the rail reserve in 2004 was part of a plan to revitalise the precinct. Fremantle Station has been undergoing a program of staged conservation and restoration works in line with a conservation plan prepared in 1999. This included paint removal and restoration of the main entry façade, refurbishment of most of the internal areas and an electrical upgrade to bring the station up to modern standards. As of July 2010 the works remaining included the restoration of external facades of the station building at an estimated cost of $2.2 million, with completion planned for 2011[5].
