1970s - Police Department
This image is of the old Police Department that was formerly called the City Hall Annex. The building was part of the city's 10-Year Capital Improvement Program, which began on January 11, 1960. The new Annex opened on February 24, 1961, and housed the Burbank Police Department, the city jail, and the city's civil defense headquarters. A tunnel was dug below 3rd St., linking the Annex with the County Courts building, and was used to transport prisoners for court appearances. A fortified basement was built to withstand a "zero-zone bomb blast" and a deep well was dug beneath the building to provide independent water "in case of attack."
