	A platoon turning out at the old 12th Precinct station house at 205 Mulberry St. In 1871 the NYCPD built a House of Detention for Witnesses at No. 203 Mulberry Street and along side of it at No. 205 Mulberry Street a new station house for the 14th Pct.The House of Detention was the holding place for material witnesses who were required to testify in court but had not been able to make bail. The witnesses could not be held in cells but lived in large dormitory rooms and had the right to wander at large within the building. The average stay was about 15 days. In December of 1915, the House of Detention was condemned by the NYC Buildings Department and closed. In 1887 the Pct. became the 10th Pct., in 1898 the 11th Pct. and then in 1908 the 12th Pct. The following year effective December 1, 1916, the 12th Pct. was abolished and the building closed. After the precinct was abolished the police department used the building as a storehouse. Later it was taken over by the PD Building and Maintenance Section and used as workshops and the storage of building supplies. the old 12th precinct as it looked in 1998 information and photos courtesy of John reilly, NYPD Retired
