Sydney Central Police Station, Historic police station in Sydney, Australia
The Sydney Central Police Station stands as a Federation Free Classical structure with a three-bay facade and wrought iron balconies at 7-9 Central Street.
Colonial Architect James Barnet designed this law enforcement facility, which operated from 1892 to 1990 before transforming into court-related holding cells.
The station's architectural elements include stone columns, dressed sandstone details, and an entablature showcasing its name at the prisoner entry point.
The building now contains police prosecutor offices in the southern wing and holding cells that support operations at the adjacent Central Local Court.
The structure underwent substantial modifications between 1926 and 1928, converting dormitories into individual rooms and adding third and fourth floors to both wings.
