Burns Philp Building, Normanton, Heritage mercantile warehouse in Normanton, Australia.
The Burns Philp Building occupies a corner position at Landsborough and Caroline Streets, featuring three gabled sections with corrugated iron exterior walls.
Built in 1884, this structure stands as the earliest remaining Burns Philp store, which controlled shipping and trade operations throughout North Queensland until the 1900s.
The building reflects commercial architectural styles of colonial Queensland through its timber frame construction and adaptation of spaces for multiple business purposes.
Located near the historic town wharves, the structure now functions as a community center housing both a library and tourist information services.
During the 1880s gold rush period, this Normanton branch generated higher profits than the company's larger establishments in Townsville.
