The watch house is a historic building in Balmain. It used to be the police lockup from about 1854 to 1920. Designed by Edmund Blacket, colonial architect. Sandstone rooms are raw and authentic. Love the small rooms at the back which are original holding cells. Has a lovely small verandah and garden.

We spent our time absorbing the history of the Balmain Watch House, built in 1854 to house short-term prisoners. At one stage, it housed a policeman, his wife and 12 children!It is now the home of the Balmain Association. The day we visited, we were surprised with the excellent exhibition TREES being held there, which we thoroughly enjoyed.Well worth the trip, especially to take in this historic part of Sydney. Go by bus - routes 442 and 443 from the CBD or by ferry to East Balmain, from which it is an enjoyable walk.
