Physical Description

History
This site was the location of the former police station and police horse yard. Together with the post office and the hotel opposite the railway station this location was the central business district of the town of Yarloop.
Yarloop Station opened in March 1901 and officers from the station policed Harvey as well as Yarloop. It was noted in the local press in 1910 that the 'Yarloop Police Station is recognised as one of the principal police stations outside of Perth'. It is likely that the station was constructed in the early 20th century to provide for the growing community.
The place survived the January 2016 Yarloop/Harvey/Waroona Fire.
