South Brisbane Library, Heritage-listed library in Stanley Street, South Brisbane, Australia
The South Brisbane Library occupies a three-story building with classical architectural elements, featuring a ground floor arcade and upper floor verandah.
The structure, designed by Francis Drummond Greville Stanley, underwent multiple transformations since its construction in 1881, starting as a post office.
The building served the community through various roles, including a mechanics institute, technical college, municipal library, and art gallery displaying Richard Randall's collection.
The former library stands opposite the South Brisbane Municipal Chambers at 472 Stanley Street, registered as a Queensland heritage site since 1992.
The building now functions as part of Griffith University Film School within the Queensland College of Art, maintaining its educational legacy.
