Marrickville, police station

This heritage listed building is the former police station in Gladstone Street, in the inner west suburb of Marrickville. This brick building with a sandstone front and slate roof was built in 1896 at a cost of 2,369 pounds. In the early days, it was known as the Marrickville Lock-Up and consisted of six cells, a padded cell, three yards, an Officer in Charge's office, a muster room and a store room. It remained in use until 1997 when a new police station opened in Despointes Street. This building is now the May Murray Neighbourhood Centre which provides community services.
