Windsor Town Council Chambers
{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} In the 1860s, local Brisbane tuff stone was extracted from a quarry at Windsor alongside Lutwyche Road. In 1897 the Windsor Shire Council built their Shire Chambers (later Town Chambers) at 356 Lutwyche Road (corner of Palmer Street) (Template:Coord), immediately beside the quarry using stone from the quarry.<ref name=ybpp>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
After the amalgamation into City of Brisbane, the Windsor Town Council Chambers was used as storage and office space by the Brisbane City Council, which undertook a restoration of the building in 1987.<ref name=mustdo>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
