Old Mineral House, Victorian heritage warehouse in Brisbane, Australia
The five-story Old Mineral House features rendered brick walls, cast iron elements, and broad segmental arches across its classical facade at Edward Street.
Built in 1888 for Smellie & Co, the structure expanded in the 1890s with two additional floors to meet the growing demands of the hardware importing business.
The building represents the evolution of Queensland commerce, transitioning from a warehouse to government offices and educational facilities throughout the 20th century.
Current occupants include architectural firms, with the Department of Public Works maintaining the structure listed on the Queensland Heritage Register since 1992.
The original internal structure maintains its cast iron columns and wooden beams, while incorporating modern amenities like elevators for contemporary use.
