Court house interior, Croydon

The courthouse was completed in May 1887. The use of corrugated iron as wall cladding reflects local conditions where suitable timber was scarce and voracious termites made keeping buildings in good repair a constant problem. The courtroom has a coved roof and is well illuminated by windows at the front and sides. It is unlined, revealing the corrugated iron cladding except for the partition wall behind the bench, which is of horizontal timber boards. The court room retains its furniture, including the judge's bench, defendant's box, witness stand and jury bench.Information taken from: Queensland Heritage Register, retrieved 11 September 2008, from http://www.epa.qld.gov.au/cultural_heritage/registers_and_inventories/queensland_heritage_register
