Details Harbour Offices, still in use, built in 1883-85 by A Marshall Mackenzie, constructed for the Harbour Board. The asymmetrical, four-storey, classical Harbour Offices are on a prominent corner sit, and have a two-stage, square-plan clock tower with a stone dome centrally placed on a flat roof. The principal east and north elevations and the tower are of grey granite ashlar with coursed pink granite to the rear. There are some raised granite margins and a slightly advanced, tetrastyle, partially fluted, Ionic pilastered and pedimented sections rising from the first storey on the east and north facades, both asymmetrically placed. The ground floor has round arched openings with decorative carved keystone details and there is a base course, cill courses to the first and third storeys and a blocking course. The east facade has predominantly plate glass timber sash and case windows and two-pane, plate-glass windows to the ground floor with a circular motif to the upper lights. Other elevations have non-traditional windows and there are low, broad wallhead stacks. The interior, as seen in 2006, has been comprehensively modernised.
