File:Roma Street Police Barracks In Brisbane 1883 (7960197828).jpg
Location: Brisbane
Description: Photograph from Roma Street of the facade of police barracks erected 1879-1880. 'This building provides barrack accommodation for about forty-five men and room for officer-in-charge. The lower floor contains cells to provide for the use of the station, if needful, as a lockup.' The barracks closed as a police station in 1967 and were demolished to make way for the Roma Street park area and Turbot Street flyover across Roma Street.
