History
It was built in 1932 on land reclaimed under the Praya East Reclamation Scheme (1921-1929) and faced directly onto Victoria Harbour from the 1930s to the 1960s.[1]
The police station was relocated to Arsenal House Lower Block at 1 Arsenal Street, Wan Chai, in 2010.[2]
Conservation
Previously a Grade III Historic Building, the building became a Grade II Historic Building in December 2009.[3] In 2011, the Development Bureau announced that the former Wan Chai Police Station cum Wan Chai Police Married Quarters site will be partly preserved and partly redeveloped for business and commercial uses.[4]
