St Lawrence Police Station

The T-shaped wooden structure features a gable roof covered in corrugated iron and stands on low stumps with verandahs on three sides.

Built between 1878 and 1880, the station replaced an earlier slab building from 1866 and served as both a courthouse and police facility.

The building exemplifies the development of law enforcement infrastructure in rural Queensland during the late nineteenth century colonial period.

The facility contains two separate holding cells equipped with concrete-set porcelain toilets and maintains active police operations to this day.

Original items from its judicial past, including a restraining device for detainees, remain stored in the former courtroom space.
