Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This building began its life, rather obviously, as the Townsville Post Office. The tower was built in three stages from 1886.

During World War II, after the first raid on Townsville, the defence department became concerned that the clock tower would become a target for Japanese bombers after the Post Office clock in Darwin was bombed, so the clock tower was dismantled by the community in a record three days in 1942.

The clock tower mechanism was stored away, and a greatly modified tower was built in 1963-64 by JE Allen & Co. of Townsville. However, this tower has been closed to the public because it has never been tested in terms of structural integrity.

The government sold the building in the late 1990s and the current owners undertook some major work to turn it into a brewery for the Townsville Brewing Co.

In 2001, The Brewery opened as a micro-brewery, restaurant, bar, nightclub and commercial kitchen.
