The Fire Station and No. 5 Police Station were co-located at the junction of Wellington St and Queen's Road Central, sometimes referred to as the "Crossroads".

1903 Fire on Queen's Road Central. I think the building in the centre is the No. 5 Police Station.

Hard to believe it now, but when this opened it stood on the seafront! The street in front, running along the water's edge, was (and still is) named Reclamation Street.

The street behind it took it's name from this building and was named Station Street (later renamed to Shanghai Street).
