Statement of Significance

The former Police Office and Watchhouse was erected in 1850 by the Public Works Department. Additions were made to the rear in 1877. The simply composed bluestone structure has been substantially altered with new windows and a porch to the front elevation. It is an essential feature of the Public Buildings Reserve Precinct.
