Established during British administration when Tlabung served as an important river port and frontier outpost, the heritage building showcases colonial architecture and administrative history. It is notable as a rare surviving colonial structure in southern Mizoram and a marker of the region's trading past.

The site consists of the old police station structure with period features, informational displays about its history, and surroundings overlooking the Khawthlangtuipui River valley. The area is calm and rural, with views of the river and nearby settlement. Visitors can explore the exterior and interior where accessible, view photographs and exhibits, and understand Tlabung's role as a former river port.

Tlabung, formerly known as Demagiri, was established as a British frontier outpost and important river port on the Karnaphuli (Khawthlangtuipui) River during the colonial period. It served as a trading and administrative centre connecting the Lushai Hills with Chittagong. The Heritage Police Station building dates to the British administration and represents the colonial policing and administrative system in the southern Lushai Hills. It is preserved as a heritage structure illustrating the town's historic role in trade and governance.

The station is a cultural landmark for Tlabung and Lunglei District, symbolizing the town's historic identity as Demagiri and its connection to river-based trade and frontier history. It is valued locally as a heritage conservation site that reflects the architectural and administrative legacy of the colonial period in Mizoram.
