The building was constructed in 1842 and originally owned by Arunagiri Mudaliar.
In 1856, the structure and its outlying grounds covering a total of 14 acres were brought for ₹ 21,000. And was converted into the headquarters of the first Police Commissioner of Madras, Lieutenant-Colonel John Carne Boulderson.

The building remained the Madras Commissioner's
office until 2013. The heritage structure was converted into a museum in September 2021.

The museum is a two-storied Indo-Saracenic structure, consisting of high parapet walls, wooden spiral stairway, Madras terrace roofing, and traditional lime-plastered walls.

Almost 200-year-old artifacts are exhibited in the museum. All of the artifacts were collected from various police stations.
