Former Police Station Adjoining Shire Hall

The former Police Station, now offices, was built in 1905 and adjoins the Shire Hall. It is constructed of ashlar with ashlar dressings and has a roof which is not visible. The building is designed in a Baroque Revival style. The lower level has a granite plinth and rusticated stonework, while a sill band runs across the first floor. Giant Doric pilasters extend upwards from the corners. An entablature sits above the pilasters, topped by a parapet. The building is three storeys high and has five windows across the front. The windows are plain sashes. A central, round-arched granite doorway contains double doors and is flanked by pairs of windows, each with a tall, projecting keystone. Above the doorway, the five windows have moulded surrounds, with brackets supporting pediments filled with raised double keystones. Above these are five 16-pane sashes, also in moulded surrounds with corniced keystones. The angled end bays have a single window on each floor. On the left side, an elliptical arched carriage opening is flanked by voussoirs and cast-iron double gates. Above the carriage opening is a bridge connecting to the Shire Hall, featuring a sill band, cornice, and a single window in a segmental cornice with a raised double keystone.
