Description
The Roseburn Park ARP Report Centre is a former Air Raid Precautions Report Centre that was used during the Second World War for civil defence operations. Built around 1940-41, it is a single storey brick building with a concrete roof. Constructed by James Miller and Sons, the design is simple and functional, with few visible exterior features apart from the doors and windows, which are now covered. Inside, there are more original features, including a concrete mounting block for a generator in one of the central rooms, original doors such as the hatched door to the former Message Room, electrical conduits and junction boxes, and four pane clerestory windows with timber frames and central hoppers, which remain in place despite being covered on the outside. The building was painted in 2011, featuring a graffiti mural on the north wall, while the rest of the exterior is painted dark green.
