Statement of Significance: Inglewood Police Station & Police Quarters (fmr), a red brick and terracotta tile police station with adjacent quarters displaying elements of the Inter-War Bungalow, Georgian Revival, and Mediterranean styles with Art Deco influenced interior features and fittings, has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: the place is a rare example of an extant c.1940 Police Station and Police Quarters in the metropolitan area; the place contributes to an understanding of the development of policing in Western Australia; the place is representative of the departmental practice of using domestic scale architecture in police places during the early to mid twentieth-century; and, the place is aesthetically pleasing in its domestic scale, fine architectural styling and interior detailing. The metal garage is of little significance.
