Charters Towers Courthouse, Heritage courthouse in Charters Towers, Australia
The Charters Towers Courthouse features a classical revival design with a central courtroom, portico, Tuscan arcade, and decorative brick structures along Hodgkinson Street.
Built between 1886 and 1890 by architect John James Clark during Queensland's gold rush period, the courthouse expanded with a new wing to meet growing judicial demands.
The courthouse interior maintains original cedar furniture and a coffered ceiling, representing the architectural standards of late 19th-century Australian judicial buildings.
Located at 28 Hodgkinson Street, the courthouse houses multiple government departments, including the Department of Mines and Energy and Natural Resources.
The construction cost of £4650 reflected significant public investment during Charters Towers' transformation from a mining area to a prosperous municipality.
