The Queen’s Buildings, on the corner of William and Murray Streets, was first recorded in the 1899 Wise’s Post Office Directory. It was designed the architectural firm Wilkinson and Smith, who were responsible for the Queen’s Hall (1899; now demolished). One odd feature of the building’s circular tower is the clock that never was – the numerals of a clock face can be clearly seen, but no sign of there ever having been hands fixed to it!
