Court house buildings in Picture Queensland

Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2008 by JOL Admin.

In many Queensland centres, court house buildings provide wonderful examples of our colonial and post-colonial architecture.

Often these buildings were part of government precincts and a centre of activity in the area.

Many of these court house buildings survive to the present as features of the local landscape.  Selected images of these Queensland court house buildings have been digitised and are available through the State Library’s Picture Queensland web site.
