The Police Station is located at the City corner of the Culemborg Complex south of the Entrance Gate with a view to an envisioned Grand Boulevard. It is in keeping with the architectural expression of the adjacent Goods Offices. A glass-box acts a check-point at the entrance to the goods yard. At roof level is an observation deck and tower. Internal finishes are of copper, teak, parquet flooring, plate-glass and brass, all fairly luxurious for its every-day purpose.
