Gayndah Courthouse – Sir Harry Gibbs Legal Heritage Centre.
The Queensland Heritage Register listed timber Gayndah Courthouse was built in 1928 and opened January 1929, designed by the Queensland Department of Public Works.
The Courthouse is a single-storeyed timber building with a hipped corrugated-iron roof and two projecting gables. A verandah runs along the front of the building between the gables. The gables have bell-cast timber-boarded sun hoods over the windows. The large central ventilator on the roof is the dominant decorative element of the building. The exterior of the courthouse is reasonably intact, except for metal louvres enclosing the verandahs.
Gayndah Courthouse is a typical example of the work of the Public Works Department and is a continuation of the tradition of timber court houses in Queensland country towns, adapting to civic function vernacular elements and materials common to domestic buildings. The building has a T-shaped plan, with offices along the front and the court room at the rear. The building replaces an earlier one of 1861.
