North Adelaide Police Station red brick residence, cell block and walled yard |
| Registered Name |
Police Station Complex - Police Station, Red Brick Residence and the Cell Block and Walled Yard |
| Significance |
The 1864 Police Station originally had the office and quarters in the one building with a lock-up or cell block and walled yard to the rear. After 35 years it was decided to build a separate residence for the Sergeant and his family. At least nine small one-officer police stations were erected throughout the metropolitan area to a standard cottage design between 1891 and 1900. The Sergeant's residence at North Adelaide Police Station (c1900) is the only one of its type remaining in fairly original condition, the others of similar architectural design having either been demolished or substantially altered.
Having separate accommodation for the officer-in-charge and his family was the method used prior to the 'villa' style of police stations with an in-built charge room which harkened back to the earlier single officer stations with quarters in the same building. |

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
