Architectural plan of the Court House, Warwick

Queensland State Archives posted a photo:

Warwick Court House and Police Complex is a heritage-listed courthouse at 88 Fitzroy Street, Warwick, Queensland. It was designed by John James Clark and built from 1885 to 1914 by William G Conley. The decision to incorporate a clock tower at the front of the building was made during construction, and the clock was supplied by Messrs Flavelle Brothers and Roberts. A public clock appears to have been long sought after by Warwick citizens.

The Warwick Court House survives as evidence of the consolidation of Warwick as a centre for the surrounding district during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through the use of materials (in particular the local sandstone), architectural forms and scale, the complex is a significant element within the Warwick townscape and identifies with other major public sandstone buildings.
