McDonnell & East Ltd Building, Federation-style department store in Brisbane, Australia.
The three-story building at 414 George Street combines red brick and stucco construction with ornamental elements and raised lettering on its facade.
Constructed between 1912 and 1928, the structure served as the retail center for McDonnell & East Ltd, founded by Irish immigrants Frank McDonnell and Hubert East.
The building design reflects both Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau architectural movements, with preserved original pressed metal ceilings throughout various sections.
The former department store underwent redevelopment in 2005, transforming the heritage-listed structure into modern retail and office spaces.
From 1931 to 1990, the building housed the George Street Post Office, integrating postal services within the operational department store.
