🏛️ From Bank to Gallery – A Building with Many Lives 🎨

This striking building on the corner of Flinders and Denham Streets has seen more than a century of change — but has always remained at the heart of Townsville’s story.

🔹 The ground floor was built in 1885 as the Union Bank of Australia, with the upper storey added in the mid-1930s to house the North Queensland Club.
🔹 In 1951, the Union Bank merged with the Bank of Australasia to form the Australia and New Zealand Bank (ANZ), which continued to operate here until changing premises in the late 1970s.
🔹 Around that same time, Townsville’s much-loved mayor Perc Tucker passed away suddenly while in office. In 1981, this historic building was acquired by Council as a commemorative gesture and transformed into the city’s public art gallery — a fitting tribute to a passionate advocate for the arts.

Since then, the Perc Tucker Regional Gallery has welcomed thousands of visitors through its grand doors, continuing a long tradition of public service — just in a more creative form!
