Austral Motors Building, Historic motor showroom in Fortitude Valley, Australia.

The Austral Motors Building features red face brick walls, large display windows, and decorative elements at 95 Boundary Street in Brisbane.

Between 1923 and 1925, Blair Cunningham constructed this building following designs by architects Lange Leopold Powell and George Gerald Hutton.

The structure represents the evolution of automotive retail spaces in Queensland, marking the transition toward specialized motor vehicle showrooms in the 1920s.

The building stands at the northern end of Brisbane central business district, closing the view at the end of Upper Adelaide Street.

During World War II, the Royal Australian Air Force utilized this commercial structure as a storage facility while maintaining its original ownership.
