The Police Station was built in 1919 and is typical of the Cape Dutch revival
architecture of its period. A single storey , U-shaped building with wings and
tall, Flemish gables and with arched verandahs between the wings. 'there are also
classical Byzanthine pillars and arches. The building has large sashes with small
panes (24 x 24), as well as round vents and louvres . There are a number of good
quality 6 panel double doors and a distinctive tall chimney. The Police Station
is prominently placed and a landmark in the Durbanville built environment , It is
also in a distinctive and indigenous architectural style and should be protected
