Statement of Significance

The lockup was once part of the Police Station. It became obsolete when the new Police Station was built in the 1970s. Today it is used as a photographic development laboratory.

Physical Description

The wall and roof are constructed from corrugated iron. The roof is hipped with an interesting gabled ventilation section at the apex. The bars on the windows, the small windows and the high positioning of the windows are a reminder that the building was once a lockup.
