    The building

    This was the headquarters of the Victoria Police, built in stages between 1940 and 1943 to a design by Percy Everett, chief architect of the Victorian Public Works Department, and built by Dawson and Smith. A stepped brick-faced tower topped by a radio mast, it was one of the tallest buildings in Melbourne when it opened. The police moved out in 1995, and it was later converted to apartments.
