Text description provided by the architects. Designed by Government Architect James Barnet in the early 1880's, this imposing building has served many purposes over its lifetime, including for a long time, a police station, complete with holding cells. The adaptation as an elegant new café/restaurant creates a new chapter in the rich history of this significant building. An exercise in restrained and respectful design, Welsh + Major’s design celebrates the qualities of the original building and breathes life into the adjacent public domain.
