| Description |
|
|
This Grade II Listed, multi-functional,
civic building sits on the corner of Pilgrim
Street and Market Street East. Roman
numerals above the corner entrance date the
building at 1931 but apparently it was built
between 1931 and 1933 and was officially
opened in 1934. It features a steel frame
construction faced with ashlar Portland
Stone on the facades facing onto the streets
and brick in the interior courtyard.
The upper floor windows are set back between
pilasters that span the second and third
floors. The northern portion of the building from the corner back along Market Street is occupied by the police station and the magistrate's courts. Running along Pilgrim Street is the former fire station, with 7 fire engine garages. This part of the building is no longer occupied.. |
