"In the heart of downtown Memphis, the abandoned Central Police Station stands as a testament to the pride and craftsmanship that was once put into the construction of our public buildings. In 1911, shortly after the construction of the Shelby County Courthouse, Mayor E.H. Crump (a former fire and police commissioner), commissioned the construction of Fire Station One, and the Memphis Central Police Station. Sitting side by side, these neo-classical buildings were constructed with the intent to elevate the status of the department, and create a monumental group of inspiring public buildings." (

Visit Instructions:
To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.
I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
