Conversion of former Surry Hills Police Station into luxury home. Listed heritage item.

The former Bourke Street Police Station was designed by Walter Liberty Vernon, the New South Wales Government Architect in 1895. The building is of the Federation Romanesque style and consisted of a charge room, an instruction class room, 8 cells and 3 exercise yards.

The building was originally designed and served as a Lockup. From 1924 the cells were used for storage of old departmental records. After the outbreak of the Second World War the use of the building was requisitioned by the Provost Marshall in December 1939 and the Lockup was occupied by the military authorities.

After the war police functions returned to the Lockup. In 1979 the Lockup was transferred to the New South Wales Department of Health and operated as the Bourke Street Drug Advisory Service and later as a Centre for People Living with Aids.

In 2012 the building was designed to be adaptively reused as a single residence.
