Government Printers Office, Brisbane, 1921

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The striking gothic arched William St section of this office was designed by colonial architect FDG Stanley and built in 1874 after an earlier wooden printing office had been demolished. As the first purpose-built government printery in Queensland, it went on to function as the state printery for 120 years. And with the ongoing expansion a second building - complete with a printer’s devil face on the keystone over the doorway – was built in 1910 on George St. There are also two printer’s devil gargoyles crouched on the parapet, one holding a G and the other a P. The printer’s devil has its origins in the days when newspapers were seen as heresy for printing stuff that was not related to God. This particular building is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of a young man who was caught up in and killed by the printing presses when he climbed in to see why one had stopped working. In 1984 the government printing offices moved on and the 1874 building housed the Sciencentre for a brief period in 1991 the Public Service Club moved in and remains today.

    Thursday 18 January happened in 1894, 1900, 1906, 1912, 1917, 1923, etc. Admiring the bentwood chair and the fancy telephone.

    This is presumably Shaw's Ham rather than Shaw's Department Stores, since the catalogue says meat processing.

    If you were seated on the other side of the desk, where the empty chair is, then the Blotter and Ledger would be on the correct side. What is the significance of the large key. There is an old map of Ireland on the wall and a telephone. When was telephone service introduced to Ireland? Very interesting pencil holder. So this could have been an accountant's office or a bank?
