Description

A police station, later converted into a house, was built in 1848 and altered in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick with painted ashlar dressings, slate roofs, and brick gable stacks. It is two stories high with a four-window front arranged as a three-window section to the left and a single-window section to the right. The left section features broad pilasters at either end and narrower pilasters between, with dentilated brick bands decorating the first floor and eaves. A projecting single-story porch is centrally located, featuring a stepped gable and chamfered ashlar coping, with a panelled door set within a double-chamfered surround. The door is inscribed "WARWICK HOUSE" above a chamfered panel. There are iron-framed cross casements with interlocking diamond-pattern glazing to either side of the porch at ground floor, and three two-light iron casements with similar glazing above. The single-window section to the right is slightly set back and features two-light casements on each floor. The rear of the building includes a paved yard and two original police cells with their original cell doors.
