Brick and tile single storey residence. The house is of asymmetrical plan form with a large projecting bay and the main entrance in the 'L' shape of the building under a small canopy. Timber framed windows which are a combination of casements and fixed panes. The casements are divided into four panes by horizontal glazing bars.
Land was acquired by the Commissioner for Police for a future police station and quarters in Brunswick Junction in 1948. Although there was ongoing pressure from local groups to build a police station in Brunswick Junction it was not until 1954 that the station and quarters were complete. For some of the intervening period an officer was stationed at the Memorial Hall and accommodated in rented premises.
The Public Works Department supplied drawings of the standard station and quarters type 'B' in brick and tile. The tender for construction was awarded to Perth contractor Bertie Gaunt for £7,500. In 1967/68, a new dining room was added to the quarters and later a carport was built to the rear of the lot. The quarters continued to provide accommodation for police officers until the closure of the station in 2003.
