Collection: Treasury Building: Brisbane CBD

Brisbane’s Treasury Building is one of the city’s most iconic heritage landmarks, constructed in three stages between 1886 and 1928 to house the Queensland Government’s public offices. Designed in an elegant Italian Renaissance style, it symbolised the state’s growth and confidence during the late 19th century and became a focal point for major civic events, including Federation celebrations in 1901. Over time, the building evolved from a centre of government administration into the well-known Treasury Casino, and today it continues to stand as a powerful reminder of Brisbane’s rich political and architectural history. 1 &2
