Former Police Station and Lock up.
Built in 1867 the first recorded policeman as M.C. Edward Deane.
The Observer reported on 21 September 1867 the design is a neat one, and the building, when finished, in an architectural point of view, will be an ornament to the town. The Police Station will cost a little over 1000 pounds. It was discovered, when the building was almost complete, that it had in fact been built on the wrong piece of land, and in 1872, the Government finally purchased the parcel of land on which it had been built.
This building used until 2011 when the police office was moved to premises in the middle of the town. To the rear of the property are three cells, surrounded by a high walled courtyard.
The adjoining building on your right is the Courthouse built in 1911, this has a door straight out into the courtyard.
Presently private residence with the original stables on the rear of the property. All buildings are State Heritage listed.
