Charters Towers Police Station
Charters Towers Police Station, Historic police station in Charters Towers, Australia
The red brick police station at 49 Gill Street features a two-story structure with timber verandahs and distinctive architectural elements from the Federation period.
Established in 1910 under architect Thomas Pye's design, the station became Queensland's second most important law enforcement facility after Brisbane during the gold rush era.
The building represents early 20th-century public architecture and demonstrates the evolution of regional law enforcement facilities in Queensland's gold mining communities.
The police station continues to serve the community from its central location, maintaining both administrative offices and operational facilities for law enforcement activities.
Following a severe fire in 1988 that destroyed the roof and interior, community support led to complete reconstruction, preserving the original brick shell.
