Department of Primary Industries Building was designed by the influential Charles Tiffin, a prominent Colonial Architecture throughout the Mid-19th century within Queensland. It was constructed adjacent to the northern bank of the Brisbane River (99 William Street, Brisbane, 4000) by John Petrie between 1865-1899. Primarily consisting of brick and metal sheeting (rib and pan), the structure was comprised utilising the load-bearing brick method, enclosed by hipped roof form. Originally the building provided the primary location for the Immigration Depot for Penal Settlement.
