"A New Police Station" New York Times, April 27, 1860 The police of the Fourth Precinct removed their quarters, on Tuesday evening, from the ill-adapted premises they have for a year past occupied in Pearl-street, to the commodious and convenient building that has just been erected on the site of the old Police Station, at No. 9 Oak-street. The arrangement of the sleeping apartments and other rooms, for the officers and men, is admirable, but the cells for prisoners and the lodgers' room exhibit, in their construction, a total disregard of the necessity of air to those who may be so unfortunate as to occupy them. With this defect remedied, the house will be a model one. New stations are sadly needed in the First, Seventh, and Twenty-second Precincts; those at present used being almost untenantable and a disgrace to the City.
