Queensland Building

The Queensland Building, located at 104–106 Flinders Street in Townsville, is a heritage-listed office building designed by architect Mark Cooper Day and constructed between 1890 and 1892. Originally serving as the headquarters for the North Queensland Insurance Company, it reflects the historical significance of Townsville as a major mercantile center during the late 19th century. The building showcases impressive architectural craftsmanship and has retained much of its original form despite some modifications over the years. Visitors can appreciate its strategic location near the former Burns Philp headquarters and the nearby Museum of Tropical Queensland, making it a notable stop for those interested in the region's rich history and heritage.
