Lands Administration Building, Heritage government building in Brisbane, Australia

The Lands Administration Building stands at 142 George Street with four stories of masonry construction featuring granite base and brown freestone exterior walls.

Built between 1901 and 1905 under architect Thomas Pye's direction, this structure served as offices for Queensland's Lands and Survey Departments and Premier's administration.

The building displays allegorical carvings representing Queensland's mining and agriculture sectors, created by sculptor William Priestly MacIntosh following Thomas Pye's designs.

The structure contains multiple entrances on George Street and William Street, with gas lamps from 1911 that continue operating through natural gas supply.

The Queensland National Art Gallery occupied the third floor of this building from 1901 until 1930, before relocating to different premises.
