Chelmer Police College, Heritage training center in Chelmer, Australia.
The former police training facility at 17 Laurel Avenue occupies a Federation-style structure with gabled roofs and wide verandahs spanning multiple wings.
Thomas Beevor Steele commissioned the construction of this residence in 1900, which later transformed into the Lady Wilson Red Cross Convalescent Home during World War II.
The building reflects multiple institutional adaptations, from a military rehabilitation center to Women's Royal Australian Army Corps barracks and eventually a police training college.
The Queensland Heritage Register maintains documentation of the site's architectural features, modifications, and historical significance for research and preservation purposes.
The property underwent modifications in 1941 to accommodate hospital functions while maintaining its original Federation-era architectural elements, creating a combined residential-institutional design.
