Photograph, The original Police Stables at 728 Main Road under renovation work for future Shire of Eltham use, c.Nov. 1991

Historical information

The original Eltham Police Station was used up till about 1960. The building was then taken over and used by the Vermin and Noxious weeds Destruction Section of the Department of Crown Lands and Survey. They vacated the building c.March 1981 and it remained unoccupied for a period of time whilst its future was discussed in Council. About 1986 the Shire took over use of the Police Residence and renovated it for use by the Shire Parks and Environment Office. The original Police Station was termite infested and was removed. It was later replaced by a replica building which was used as a lunchroom for Council employees working at the site.

Based on photos contained in the 1992 Bick Heritage Study of the Police Residence and Stable, this roll of film was taken Nov 1991.
