Australian non-residential architectural styles

Australian non-residential architectural styles are a set of Australian architectural styles that apply to buildings used for purposes other than residence and have been around only since the first colonial government buildings of early European settlement of Australia in 1788.

Their distribution follows closely the establishment and growth of the different colonies of Australia, in that the earliest colonial buildings can be found in New South Wales and Tasmania.

The following classifications are derived from Apperley, Irving and Reynolds (1989):

Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney. Old Colonial Georgian. Completed in 1819

The Old Windmill, Brisbane; Completed 1824. (Brisbane's oldest building)

The Grange, Campbell Town, Tasmania, 1847.

St James Old Cathedral. King Street, Melbourne; 1839-1849, resited 1914. One of Melbourne's oldest surviving buildings

Sydney Mint. Sydney. Completed 1816. The oldest public building in Australia.
