Old Hill Street Police Station

A former police station on Hill Street draws the eye with 927 rainbow-coloured windows; it works best as a streetside architecture stop.

Old Hill Street Police Station

Why go

The repeated coloured windows transform a large government building into one of the Civic District's most memorable facades. Walk far enough along Hill Street to see the pattern as a whole, then look for the balconies and the building's more formal classical details.

What to look for

  • The facade has 927 windows in a rainbow of colours.
  • Cantilevered balconies break up the long exterior.
  • Classical details remain visible beneath the colourful treatment.

Useful to know

  • Plan to view it from the public streets; regular visitor access to the interior is unconfirmed.
