Hunters Buildings, Heritage-listed building complex in Brisbane, Australia

The Hunters Buildings consist of multiple structures along Elizabeth Street, including Treasury Chambers, St Francis House, and the Symons Building with classical architectural details.

Constructed in 1886 by builder George Gazzard under architect Richard Gailey's design, the buildings were commissioned by James Hunter for an estimated cost of £10,000.

The Order of Capuchin Franciscan Fathers acquired St Francis House in 1949 and organized community events there until approximately 1970.

The buildings received protection through their addition to the Queensland Heritage Register on October 21, 1992, maintaining their facades on Elizabeth Street.

After the 1993 demolition of most St Francis House and Symons Building sections, the Treasury Chambers retained original elements including pressed metal ceilings.
