There's a gasometer on the 25" on Pierhead Road in Ferrybank, but no gasworks. Gasworks are on Harbour road on the south side.

It's a car park now: goo.gl/maps/Kab2hcyu7rSMrUdt5

The half dozen blocks left standing don't seem like a great match with this photo.

Streetview of the carpark where the gas works were on the 25" and Cassini (so up to 1930s at least).

Warwick Post Office is located on a prominent corner site to Grafton and Palmerin Street, which is the city's main thoroughfare and shopping precinct. It replaced an earlier post office designed in a quasi-Georgian Colonial manner in 1884. It is not clear whether this earlier post office was on the same site. Warwick Post Office is an example of: * a post and telegraph office with quarters (second generation typology 1870–1929). * the Baroque Revival grand Manner in the 1900s fashion, with some Federation elements. * a large annexe building in a 1940s early Modern-Scandinavian Classicist manner. * the work Queensland Government Architect Andrew BartonBrady, possibly assisted by G D Payne.

The Brisbane GPO was built in 1872 to replace a temporary post office that operated elsewhere in Queen Street. A central tower, southern Telegraph Wing and clock were added in 1879. The complex held Brisbane’s first telephone exchange (1880) and was the telegram central distribution centre. A replacement clock was installed in 1908, when a three-storey building facing Elizabeth Street was added. Minor extensions occurred in 1911, 1943-44, 1957 and 1975. During World War II, its front was used as a saluting dais for military parades. A replacement clock was installed in 1982. In 1983, a postal and telecommunications museum was included within the GPO. Located in Queen Street, the original GPO building by FDG Stanley is an Italianate-influenced design with a near square plan form. The building is constructed of brick, porphyry (Brisbane Tuft) and sandstone. It has an arched sandstone colonnade at street level above which is a verandah whose roof is supported on Corinthian columns. The main entry of the building was marked by a triple bay projecting slightly forward and surmounted by a pediment enclosing a clock. The three central projecting bays of the arcade have vermiculated rustication below the line of the arches. Source: heritage.brisbane.qld.gov.au/heritage-places/408
