Post and Telegraph Offices, Bowen
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Post and Telegraph Offices, Bowen. The Bowen Post and Telegraph Offices were built as part of the Bowen Court House, the first Supreme Court outside of Brisbane. The building is important in demonstrating the early prominence of Bowen, being considerably more grand than other early courts at Townsville and Charters Towers; both of which towns were to eclipse Bowen. It also illustrates the way in which a legal system was established and government services provided in the developing north of the colony. The inclusion of a second function as a Post Office indicates both the need for economy and the importance given to the role of communications services.
A new Post Office was built in 1936. |
