Cairns Court House Complex, Heritage courthouse and art gallery in Cairns, Australia.
The T-shaped courthouse building features rendered masonry walls, high ceilings, and a recessed porch supported by classical columns at Abbott Street.
The courthouse, constructed between 1919 and 1921, replaced earlier facilities that served the growing population of the Hodgkinson goldfields region since 1876.
The former Public Offices section now houses the Cairns Regional Gallery, displaying historical and contemporary art exhibitions in a Georgian Revival structure.
The Abbott Street Gardens contain concrete paths and palm trees, creating outdoor spaces around both the courthouse and gallery buildings.
The Main Court Room preserves original silky oak fittings, including a raised judges bench and architectural details from the interwar period.
