Court house buildings in Picture Queensland

By JOL Admin | 23 October 2008

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

Bowen Court House, ca. 1890.  Image No: 6414

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.
