      Keilor police station, former - Physical Description 1

      Description

      Double-gabled bluestone former police station now converted to a private residence with a large rear extension. The building is obscured behind a high fence and mature garden planting. The police station has a slate roof with a Victorian style metal-roofed verandah on timber posts.

      The two storey brick and timber building connected to the bluestone building at the rear is a modern addition which is not of heritage fabric.

      The former police station is located on the main Bendigo Road in the Keilor Village and next to the former courthouse.

      Condition/integrity

      In good condition, but evidently altered with the inclusion of modern amenities, and extensively renovated or restored interiors.

      A modern extension has been constructed at the rear.
