1886年台灣省，劉銘傳基於海防、開發與運輸之需要，經於1887年向清廷奏准建設台灣鐵路。1893年基隆─新竹鐵路竣工，新竹車站設立於枕頭山腳下。明治初期，日鐵道隊有鑒於清朝期間所建造的鐵路蜿蜒蛇行，開始修改舊有的路線，新竹車站於此時稱為新竹停車場，是一處簡易的木造車站。1908年新的鐵路通車，新的車站（新竹驛）於1913年完工，即今日所見新竹火車站。新竹車站設計者是當初任職於總督府鐵道部松崎萬長，建築樣式融合了部分巴羅克建築樣式的風味，加上陡斜的複折式屋頂與老虎窗，同時在柱體、牆壁轉角與開口部四周等結構應力集中的地方，加強石造的結實感，使得整體建築物呈現繁複卻不失莊重，嚴肅卻又不失親和的建築風味來。設計者的巧思，使火車站成為新竹的門戶與都市的地標。
