Treasury Building

About this audio guide

This guide to the Treasury Building in Brisbane traces one structure through two appetites: built in three stages from eighteen eighty-six to nineteen twenty-eight as Queensland's government treasury, then remade in nineteen ninety-five into a casino with restaurants and gaming floors. You'll hear about its Italian Renaissance design and the governor's Federation announcement from its balcony. Stand near the William Street balcony to see where the crowd once gathered.
