Archival records show that the Treasury Building played an important role in Brisbane’s public life long before it became associated with entertainment. Its construction took place between the late nineteenth century and the 1920s, and the building later became a heritage-listed landmark. For additional background on its entertainment-era identity,
Treasury Casino offers another point of reference. The former casino operated from the heritage property until 2024, when the Queen’s Wharf development brought a new gaming facility into the area. Researching the building’s different stages provides an interesting look at how one central Brisbane site has been repeatedly adapted to new uses.
