Thomas Dixon Centre, Heritage performing arts venue in West End, Australia
The Thomas Dixon Centre spans two floors in a brick building with large windows, concrete foundations, and machine-made bricks in English bond pattern.
Thomas Dixon established a tannery in 1873, which evolved into a shoe factory by 1878 before architect Richard Gailey designed this Georgian Revival building in 1908.
The Queensland Ballet and other artistic organizations transformed this former industrial site into a performance center following a 1991 renovation worth 1.8 million dollars.
Located at 406 Montague Road, the center hosts ballet performances, dance shows, concerts, and community guided building tours throughout the year.
The building features uncommon dark blue salt glazed bricks and maintains original elements including an engine room and air raid shelter from its manufacturing past.
