Queensland State Archives posted a photo:

Maryborough Courthouse is a heritage-listed courthouse at 170 Richmond Street, Maryborough, Queensland. It was designed by Francis Drummond Greville Stanley and built in 1877 by John Thomas Annear for the Queensland Government.

The complex was the first large court building designed for a rural town in Queensland. It was the forerunner for several other buildings in regional areas. The building is rectangular in form with corner towers and connecting verandahs and was constructed in rendered brick, with timber work forming the verandas.

The building stands as part of the historic Wharf Street precinct in central Maryborough. The courthouse has been in continuous use by the supreme, district and magistrates courts of Queensland since it was completed in 1878, making it the longest-serving and oldest courthouse in use in Queensland.
