00179 Boulder Police Station, Quarters and Court House (fmr)
The place historic value as it is identifiable with the growth of the mining population in Boulder and is a demonstration of the form of small regional police lock-ups built in the gold boom.
: A single-storey structure with a prominent hipped roof which extends to cover an encircling verandah. Interior linings and finishes have been replaced. Little evidence of its original use is evident.
This place was the site of the Boulder Police Quarters and Lock-Up. Boulder was the first area to demand that a prison be built on the goldfields (Boulder's Hidden Secrets, 1993).
