Top left is Government Houseβ constructed 1871. In the middle at the top of the escarpment was the Police Station and Court Houseβ now used as office accommodation for the Administrator. Nestled in the gully below that is Knightβs Folleyβ a βMoorish-style mansion build by Government Architectβ JG Knight in 1884 . Between Government House and the Police Station are the offices of the British-Australian Telegraphy Companyβ which is the site of Parliament House in Darwin.
