ED Miles Mining Exchange, Heritage-listed mining exchange in Charters Towers, Australia
The ED Miles Mining Exchange building at 65 Mosman Street features multiple interconnected offices, a public reception area, and a secure strong room.
Edward David Miles established his mining exchange business in 1883, which operated successfully until 1922, managing numerous mining companies in the Queensland goldfields.
The building demonstrates the evolution of Queensland's gold mining industry through its architectural features and purpose-built design for financial transactions.
The structure incorporates Tobin Tube ventilation systems, high ceilings, and strategic window placement to maintain comfortable temperatures in the tropical climate.
This mining exchange remains the most complete of only four purpose-built exchanges constructed during Queensland's nineteenth-century gold mining period.
