The former site of the German Police Headquarters in Qingdao Old Town was completed in 1905, one year after construction started in 1904. The main entrance is located at the southeast corner of the compound, facing south towards Qingdao Bay. The facade is asymmetric with the east wing higher than the west. In the center of the German Police Headquarter complex is a belfry with a small multi-stepped gable at each side decorated in brick-laid patterns. The former site of the German Police Headquarters is constructed of red brick, Mount Lao granite, and re-enforced concrete. Crowned with a slopping roof of red Terra-cotta tiles, which is typical German Renaissance architecture, the building resembles a typical European township building of the 19th century. According to records it was designed and constructed by the Kiaochow (JiaoZhou Bay) Administration of Construction.
