Ottoman Railway Station
The Ottoman-era railway station in Jenin Camp was part of the Hijaz Railway, built by the Ottomans with support from their German allies in 1908. Constructed from local stone and roofed with brick tiles on thick wooden beams, this station shares the same architectural style as other railway stations in Palestine, such as Al Masoudia. The two-story building featured a ground floor with an administration office, large waiting room, storehouses, and a mechanic section, while the upper floor housed accommodation for station workers. The building also has three elevated windows on each side and four chimneys for ventilation.
Initially serving civilian purposes, the station was repurposed for military use in 1932 until 1941. During World War II, British mandate authorities converted it into a military camp. After the 1948 war (al-Nakba), the station housed Palestinian refugee families. Over time, the building suffered damage due to neglect and abandonment.
