Old Butcher's Shop, Childers, Heritage-listed butcher shop in Childers, Australia.

The Old Butcher's Shop at 6 North Street is a rectangular brick building with its long axis set at right angles to the street. Its gabled corrugated-iron roof is hidden behind a parapet with a raised central section and an arched top. The shopfront is divided into two tenancies, with large display windows between and flanking two panelled doors, shaded by an awning on two pairs of posts. Glossy moss-green tiles with geometric and stylised floral panels in reds and greens sit beneath each window. A timber shop adjoins it, with a dwelling at the rear.

Construction took place between 1896 and 1902, a period when Childers was establishing itself as a commercial center. The building's development reflects the economic growth and urban development happening in Queensland towns during this era.

The shop carried several names over time: Wrench and Thompson, then Hermann Lassig, who replaced the signage with his own, and later the O'Regan brothers, Alexander Adie and Stehbens Bros. A 1907 photograph shows the open-fronted shop, before the closed tiled front was installed. The building later housed an iceworks, a leathergoods and pottery business, and a museum.

The shop is located on North Street and can be viewed from the street, making it easily accessible to walk past and examine the exterior features. The heritage site retains its original appearance, so visitors can see the distinctive tilework and architectural details without needing special access.

The shopfront's glossy moss-green tiles carry panels of geometric and stylised floral patterns in reds and greens beneath each display window; no bull or ram motifs appear in the source description. The tiled front is a later alteration, since photographs from 1907 and the Lassig era show an open-fronted shop, and the date of the closed tiled front is unrecorded.
