Barnes and Co. Trading Place, Heritage-listed department store in Warwick, Australia.

The two-story brick building at 118 Palmerin Street features large plate glass shopfronts, ornamental plaster details, and traditional Victorian commercial architecture from 1911.

George Powell Barnes established the trading company in 1874, expanding from a small store to a regional retail empire across Queensland by the early 1900s.

The department store introduced modern shopping concepts to rural Queensland, providing farmers and residents access to various goods under one Victorian-era roof.

The building spans multiple addresses along Palmerin Street and King Street, maintaining its original architectural elements including the Wunderlich ceiling and timber fixtures.

The structure incorporated an advanced pneumatic cash railway system, connecting selling points to a central cash office through a network of tubes.
