Charters Towers Stock Exchange Arcade
Charters Towers Stock Exchange Arcade is a heritage-listed building located at 76 Mosman Street, Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia. The building was constructed in 1888 by Sandbrook Brothers of Sydney and designed by the Sydney architect Mark Day.
It was originally designed for the local civic leader Alexander Malcolm. It was housed in the Royal Arcade in 1890. It was also connected to the rest of the world via telegraph during this time. It operated until 1916, when it had to be shut down due to the rapidly diminishing returns from the gold mines and population. [1]
It currently houses a café, a bookshop, the office of Shane Knuth and a beauty place.
Heritage listing
The building was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register in 1992.[2]
