    The building

    This corner building on Russell and Mackenzie Streets was built in 1888-89 as police offices, by the contractor Thomas Corley for Victoria's Public Works Department, on a site the police had used since the 1850s. When the headquarters next door was rebuilt in the 1940s, wartime shortages stopped the work, and this two-storey wing survived. It was later converted to apartments.
