Cairns Chinatown Building, Heritage brick building in Grafton Street, Cairns, Australia.
The Cairns Chinatown Building features traditional shop-front elements with large display windows and wide awnings extending over the footpath at 99 Grafton Street.
The structure, constructed between 1892 and 1902, represents the final remaining building from the original Chinatown district that developed during Queensland's gold rush period.
Chinese settlers established businesses in this area, contributing to the growth of agriculture through sugar cultivation and market gardening in north Queensland.
The building currently houses Fetta's Greek Taverna restaurant, maintaining its commercial purpose while preserving the historical architecture of late 19th century Queensland.
The structure contains handmade bricks of irregular sizes and bright red coloration, demonstrating early manufacturing techniques using iron-rich clay from the region.
