Central Otago sub-area supervisor Senior Sergeant Ian Kerrisk and his wife Meredith bought the historic building and accommodation complex on Friday. After 37 years in the police, it was "time for a change", Snr Sgt Kerrisk said. Snr Sgt Kerrisk said he would leave the police at the end of January. The Kerrisks bought the House from John and Maree Davidson, who had owned the building and the Bank Cafe beside it since 2005. Mrs Kerrisk said they had plans for the building but those were "under wraps".
