Finney Isles & Co Building, Heritage-listed department store building in Queen Street, Brisbane, Australia

The Finney Isles & Co Building spans multiple sections with varying facade treatments, featuring six storeys on Queen Street and three on Adelaide Street.

The structure, completed in 1910, represented one of Queensland's first implementations of reinforced concrete construction techniques in commercial architecture.

The building's Art Deco elements, decorative rosettes, and broad arched windows reflect the evolution of Australian retail architecture from 1909 through the 1930s.

The structure maintains its original silky oak staircases and decorative lift wells, while modern shopfronts occupy both street-facing facades.

The building incorporated advanced features for its time, including pneumatic cash exchange systems and a rooftop water tower for operational efficiency.
