Statement of Significance

The Old Police Quarters is situated adjacent to the Guildford Gaol and Court House and contributes to the setting of these buildings and an understanding of the history of law enforcement in this precinct. It has a social value for its long association with the Guildford Village Pottery, a community organisation.

Physical Description

Single-storey brick and iron villa c.1910. Features include corrugated short sheets, decorative half timbered rough cast gable with timber battens, timber verandah with valance and posts and casement type windows.

History

This building is positioned in the same location as the early colonial building built in 1854 for the Superintendent of the Convict Depot. The building that currently exists was used as the police quarters for most of its existence and was one of two associated with the law enforcement of the adjacent Courthouse and Gaol. It has operated as a community pottery since 1981.
