State Buildings

History

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

The Old Treasury Buildings

The Old Treasury Buildings (as they were formerly known) were constructed between 1875 and 1958. Housing various public offices of State until the mid-1990s, they retained a remarkable architectural cohesion through the use of Victorian Georgian, Victorian Second Empire and Federation Free Classical styles.

The buildings were sadly left vacant from the mid-1990s, until a vision to restore these beautiful buildings and bring them back to life began. Redevelopment commenced in November 2012, with Palassis Architects engaged as the Heritage Architect for the initial stages, and Kerry Hill Architects as the restoration architect and interior designer.

The Old Treasury Buildings now renamed The State Buildings began their new life on October 15th 2015 as home to a myriad of innovative restaurants, elegant boutiques, and a luxurious contemporary hotel, COMO the Treasury.
