3 Church Street This building stands on land that was first transferred in 1873 from the estate of John Sullivan to William Charles Guest, and subsequently to Llewellyn Edwards, manager of the Standard Bank, in 1890. In 1901 Mrs Andrew Hepburn lived in this house, which was named "Belmont". The building was later occupied by Archie Benn. The property was purchased by Philip Rudolph Schoeman in 1929, who then sold it to a forester Alfred J. Herion in 1937. Sister Louise Herion ran a private nursing home here during the 1930's and 1940's. In 1981 the property was purchased by the State, consolidated with the adjacent Police Station and Court House property, and was renovated as part of the Police Station extensions in 1998-2000 by the Public Works Department.
