Description
One of Australia’s finest 19th century buildings, the Old Treasury Building’s construction between 1858 and 1862 was symbolic of the city’s rapid development. The design by the 19 year old architect JJ Clark is in the Renaissance Revival style, derived from the ‘Italian palazzo’ form. The recently restored terraces and lamps were constructed in 1867.
In 2022, the Old Treasury Building celebrates 160 years.
