This historic house was designed by W.H.Clayton, the Colonial Architect in the late 1860's. First occupied in 1870. It served as a custom house until the 1890's.
It became a Police Station and residence in the early 1900s and is still in use today. Although not open to the public, the old prison cell (not in use today) is a small outhouse and can be seen from the street at the rear of the property.

I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
