Everything tagged: Police Station

There are several different buildings in the compound. Does anyone know the dates they were completed?

Demolision date is uncertain but according to a Wiki entry in Chinese it should be around the 1930's.  The same Wiki entry also have a list of the early police stations.

There is a photo of this police station at this blog.

placement is guesswork. 

I've moved the location based on the map below, and changed built date to 1900 and demolished date to 1942.
