Hudiksvall, Sweden (No. 9)

Hudiksvall Station is a railway station on the East Coast Railway located in central Hudiksvall. The station became a state-owned building in 1986 and a listed building under the Cultural Environment Act 2001.  The station's platform roof became a state-owned building in 2006. 

In the 1870s Hudiksvall had a narrow-gauge railway link Hudiksvalls Järnvägs with Näsviken on Lake Dellen. This private course was purchased and nationalized in 1877. The gauge was converted to normal tracks and the track was extended to Ljusdal at norra stambanan. 

The station building in Hudiksvall was inaugurated in 1888 when the railway section as a whole was opened to traffic and connected to the main line network. The building was designed by SJ's architect Adolf Wilhelm Edelswärd and the drawings are dated 1886. The ground floor of the station building was rebuilt in 1924 and 1933. The waiting room was modernized in 1957, when new lighting and new billboards were inserted. The station house underwent renovation and modernization in 1984, when the metal roof was converted with original technology. The original color scheme was also recreated and some windows and doors were restored to their original appearance. 

The station house is designed in a Neo-Romanesque style and has nothing in common with the rest of the city's local buildings. Instead, the design had a lot in common with the country's larger stations. The similarities with the station built in Hallsberg two years earlier are also striking. The facades are symmetrically constructed and have been adorned with colonies and round arch fries. Some parts of the fixed décor of vestibule and waiting rooms are preserved, such as ceilings, panels and moldings.
