Built in 1884, this impressive group of buildings, with its commanding position overlooking the harbour, was the Marine Police Headquarters until 1997. It was gazetted as a historical monument in 1994 and designated as one of the four oldest surviving government buildings.
The compound comprises a main building, a stable block and the special feature of a two-storey time-signal tower, where a time ball was dropped at 1pm every day until 1907 to enable ships in the harbour to check their chronometers.
The main building has been converted for use as a boutique hotel.作者: twintwin 時間: 2010-1-13 19:56
