Central Police Station - Adams Street Historic District - Memphis, TN - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

"In the heart of downtown Memphis, the abandoned Central Police Station stands as a testament to the pride and craftsmanship that was once put into the construction of our public buildings. In 1911, shortly after the construction of the Shelby County Courthouse, Mayor E.H. Crump (a former fire and police commissioner), commissioned the construction of Fire Station One, and the Memphis Central Police Station. Sitting side by side, these neo-classical buildings were constructed with the intent to elevate the status of the department, and create a monumental group of inspiring public buildings."
