Historic- The Broome Hill Police Station was built in 1892. When the new police station and quarters was built in 1951, the old station was not needed. The anglican Parish purchased the building for 450 pounds in 1952 and with a few alterations, it became a church.
Saint Elizabeth's Anglican Church, the former Police Station and Courthouse, a single-storey brick and iron building. It is one of the oldest buildings in Broomehill and contributes to the community’s sense of place. The altar is constructed of bricks from the old 1884 Eticup Church. The transformation from a police station into a church makes Saint Elizabeth's Anglican Church an uncommon structure.
This Church took it name from St Elizabeth who fed the poor of her country. Her husband was a heathen and had forbidden her to do so . One day she crept out of the palace with a basket of bread for the needy and her husband caught her. Miraculously, when he looked into the basket, it was filled with roses. When Broomehill came into being, there was no church for some years, so with the escalating costs of building a new church, it was more viable to convert the old police building.
