The Warwick Courthouse and police complex which has evolved on this site is a significant feature of the township and continues to provide a focus for policing and the administration of justice.
The single-storeyed courthouse was completed in 1886 and is constructed of sandstone from quarries in the local area. It has a hipped sheet metal roof, with metal ridge ventilators, and a clock tower on the Fitzroy Street frontage.
Among its functions, the courthouse has provided offices for government agencies including Land Agent, the Labour Bureau and various registrars and inspectors. Part of the rear verandah was enclosed and extended in 1914 to provide additional office space.
Alterations to the building have been undertaken from the 1960s, including the formation of a public entry and waiting area by enclosing the western verandah, and the rearrangement of office spaces within the building.
