The Treasury Building, also previously known as the New Public Offices, is a heritage-listed former government public administration building located at 21 Queen Street, Brisbane City, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1886 to 1928 for the Queensland Government. On 21 October 1992, the Italian Renaissance[1] style building was added to the Queensland Heritage Register.[2] The building is located at North Quay, near the northern end of Victoria Bridge. Although officially fronting Queen Street, the building occupies an entire city block surrounded by Queen Street, George Street, Elizabeth Street, and William Street. The Elizabeth Street frontage is opposite the Queens Gardens. In the 1890s and early 1900s, the imposing Treasury Building served as a symbol of self-government and as a focus for celebratory and patriotic displays. It is currently occupied by the Treasury Casino owned by Star Entertainment Group. The Treasury Building, a four-storeyed masonry perimeter block, occupies an entire city block bounded by Queen, George, Elizabeth, and William Streets. It forms the northern edge of the group of important public buildings surrounding Queens Gardens. These include the Lands Administration Building to the southeast of the park, the Family Services Building to the northeast, and on the southwestern edge, between the gardens and the Brisbane River, the Old State Library, and the North Quay porphyry wall.[2] Like the Treasury Building, the gardens, neighboring buildings, and walls are all heritage-listed. William Street facade completed in the first stage, 2014 The view of the William Street facade from the river, although interrupted by South-East Freeway, is enhanced by the elevated position of the site. The building consists of a partly sunken basement and an elevated ground floor or piano nobile above which are two additional floors. It is built to the property alignment around a large central courtyard.[2] The design is consistent with the English practice of the late nineteenth century in employing a classical style drawn from sixteenth-century Italian architecture. Arcades protect the northeast, northwest, and southwest elevations. The arcaded facades are symmetrical with central towers of one additional story surmounted by a pediment. The corners are emphasized with pavilions that step forward terminating the arcades. The basement walls are distinguished by smooth banded rustication. The southeast facade has no arcade and no central tower. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasury_Building,_Brisbane
