Statement of Significance

The place demonstrates the characteristics of structures erected for the accommodaton/office use by public sservants in this state during the same period.

Physical Description

Built in 1910, the quarters were built on sloping land, hence the roof of each is a different level. This makes the roofing a very distinctive feature of the buildings.

Indicators of the Federation Georgian Style of the place include the simple chimney(s), exposed brick work, verandah under separater roof and a simple roof pitch. The iwdth of the dwellings indicate living accommodation of a slightly greater standard to that of the worker's row housing of the same period.

History

These were the quarters attached to the Second Police Station. The buildings housed two families (cells at the back; stables demolished). It was used for the purpose until the new Police Station was built in 1983. The building is still in use as a private home and by the Agricultutral Protection Board.
