[PT]
Projecto do Engenheiro Alfredo Soares, Construido entre 1878 e 1882. Conjunto de aparato construído na cerca de solar dos Camaridos (Melo Alvim) e à custa do demnolido Convento de S. Teotónio (Crúzios), apresenta-se com elevado pé direito a servir uma arquitectura hierarquizada, com um corpo central de dois andares ladeado por dois "alpendres". Conjuga os materiais tradicionais - madeira, granito regional e azulejos - com o ferro vulgarizado pelo industrialismo fontista, com que se estruturou o amplo vão das gares e os alpendres virados à cidade.
