Old Toowoomba Court House, Heritage-listed courthouse in East Toowoomba, Australia.

The building features a two-story brick design with a hip roof, clerestory, and symmetrical veranda topped with corrugated iron roofing.

Built between 1861 and 1864, the courthouse served multiple functions, including as a female reformatory and the Toowoomba Men's Gaol until 1903.

The structure transformed into the Austral Museum in 1904, displaying collections of artifacts and hosting community events in its festival hall.

Located at 90 Margaret Street, the building maintains parts of its original external wall and stands near Queens Park in Toowoomba's center.

The facility became DeMolay House, making it the only chapter in Australia to possess its own premises for youth leadership programs.
