The Camberwell Police Station - Camberwell
The Camberwell Police Station and Court House Complex on the Corner of Camberwell Road and Butler Street in the Melbourne eastern suburb of Camberwell, was designed by Public Works Department architect, Percy Edgar Everett (1888 - 1967).
The complex was built by W. A. Medbury between 1938 and 1939. in the Streamline Moderne style which had been influencing Australian architecture since its first appearance in the early 1930s. The complex is set on a diagonal axis. The buildings are constructed of red, brown and manganese bricks and contain Percy Everett's trademark pattern detailing.
The complex still retains a law enforcement function to this day, as the court house is now used for Administrative Appeals Tribunals and the police station still functions.
Percy Everett's other architectural works include; the Fairfield Club House in 1934, the Essendon technical School in 1939 and the Russell Street Police Headquarters in 1942 and 1943.
