On 1 October 1925, the town was amalgamated into the City of Brisbane.[2]
Windsor Town Council Chambers
In the 1860s, local Brisbane tuff stone was extracted from a quarry at Windsor alongside Lutwyche Road. In 1897 the Windsor Shire Council built their Shire Chambers (later Town Chambers) at 356 Lutwyche Road (corner of Palmer Street) (27°25′46″S 153°01′56″E / 27.42945°S 153.03214°E / -27.42945; 153.03214 (Windsor Town Hall)), immediately beside the quarry using stone from the quarry.[3]
After the amalgamation into City of Brisbane, the Windsor Town Council Chambers was used as storage and office space by the Brisbane City Council, which undertook a restoration of the building in 1987.[4]
Today it is home to the Windsor and District Historical Society and the National Trust of Queensland; the public is welcome to visit.[3][4]
