Pigott's Building, Heritage-listed commercial building in Ruthven Street, Toowoomba, Australia.

The two-story brick structure features decorative facade elements, pressed metal ceilings, and timber posts throughout its multiple interconnected sections.

Built in 1910 by James Marks and Son architects, the building replaced an earlier store that burned down in 1909 and underwent extensions in 1914, 1935, and 1956.

The structure served as Toowoomba's primary department store for decades, offering retail services, food products, and social spaces for the local community.

Located at 381-391 Ruthven Street, the building includes both street-facing retail areas and rear parking access through Margaret Street for customer convenience.

The building incorporated advanced features for its time, including light wells, patented roof ventilators, and pneumatic tube cash systems during the 1936 renovation.
