大家好，今次SPD4459小白鞋就帶大家去回顧一下舊中區警署和域多利監獄。
Hello everyone, we are going to look back the Old Central Police Station compound in this journal. 

圖1.1 

中區警署內歷史最悠久的建築物是建於一八六四年之大樓(圖1.1)，大樓原高三層，與域多利監獄毗鄰。其後，警署逐漸擴建,面對荷李活道的四層高大樓則於一九一九年加建。它與毗鄰的前中央裁判司署及域多利監獄，組成了一組標誌著法律及紀律的歷史建築群。現時，舊中區警署和域多利監獄為香港的法定古蹟。

舊中區警署屬後維多利亞風格，其紅磚牆、花崗石雕刻以及巨型圓柱最為特別；而裡頭又有鍛鐵陽台，以及花崗石建成的地板、樓梯，也值得一看。

近年來，香港政府致力推廣保育和活化古蹟, 所以這些歷史建築群現正在活化，預計於2015年底重新開放。(圖1.2, 1.3)

The Old central Police Station, which is the oldest structure within the compound is a barrack block built in 1864. Nowadays, the police station and prison are a Declared Monument in Hong Kong.It is a three-storey building constructed adjacent to Victoria Prison. A storey was later added to the block in 1905. In 1919, Headquarters Block facing Hollywood Road was constructed.

The late-Victorian style building is notable for its red brick walls, granite features and the imposing columns in its entrance hall. The barracks blocks at the left of the main entrance to the Old Central Police Station were built in 1860 and 1913. These have impressive granite staircases and wrought-iron balconies.

In recent years, the Hong Kong Government is committed to the promotion of heritage conservation and revitalization, these historic buildings are being activated, is expected to re-open at the end of 2015.

域多利監獄於一八四一年落成，是香港開埠初期最先以耐久物料建造的建築物。第二次世界大戰期間，監獄內大部分建築物因受轟炸而嚴重損毀。當局進行修復後，於一九四六年重開作監獄之用。(圖1.4)

Built in 1841, Victoria Prison was understood to be the first western building constructed of durable material in Hong Kong. Most of the buildings within the compound were damaged by bombing during the Second World War. The Prison was reopened in 1946 after repairs.
