Burns Philp Building, Normanton, Heritage mercantile warehouse in Normanton, Australia.

The Burns Philp Building is a mercantile warehouse positioned at the corner of Landsborough and Caroline Streets, with three gabled sections and corrugated iron exterior walls. The structure shows solid timber frame work and was later modified multiple times to house different functions.

The building was constructed in 1884 and is the oldest surviving store of the Burns Philp Company, which handled shipping and trade operations across North Queensland. It survived changes in the region and remains a record of the area's early commercial history.

The building displays commercial architectural styles from colonial Queensland through its timber frame construction and how spaces were adapted for different business purposes. The corner position on the streets was a typical feature of important trading buildings in this region.

The building stands near the historic town wharves and today functions as a community center with a library and tourist information services. Visitors can explore the site easily and obtain information about the area there.

Within two months of opening its Normanton store in July 1879, James Burns had received £2,000 worth of orders for goods bound for district graziers. The store's manager issued his own £1 and £5 notes as change, used in Normanton and on Thursday Island for about ten years between 1880 and 1890.
