Erskine Street Police Station

The two-story building features sandstone construction on the ground floor and brick with stone elements on the upper level, facing Erskine Street.

The station, constructed in 1827 under William Dumaresq's design, served the area near Darling Harbour where sailors, convicts, and laborers gathered.

The structure represents early Sydney architecture on a smaller scale and demonstrates the evolution of law enforcement facilities in colonial Australia.

Located at 82 Erskine Street, the former police station now functions as 'The Station,' a drop-in center supporting homeless youth.

The building underwent modifications in the 1910s and 1920s, transforming from a single-story structure with an attic to its current two-story configuration.
