Petrie Terrace Police Depot, Heritage police building in Petrie Terrace, Australia.
The red brick building features horizontal concrete bands and terracotta tile panels along its exterior facade overlooking central Brisbane.
The site operated as Brisbane's second prison from 1860 to 1883 before becoming a police barracks that trained officers until the mid-1980s.
The Raymond Clare Nowland design combines classical architecture with Arts and Crafts movement elements, reflecting early 20th-century Queensland police infrastructure.
The building contains original structures including stables, garages, and workshops that have been converted into modern entertainment and retail spaces.
Stone retaining walls and wrought iron fences on stone bases remain intact along the perimeter of this elevated site near Roma Street railway yards.
