Tattersalls Arcade History

History of Tattersalls Arcade

The Tattersalls Arcade has a long history dating back to 1926. The beautiful arcade is located at 215 Queen St. Brisbane and runs off the Queen St. Mall through to Edward St.

A heritage listed building it is now home to the iconic Brownie Entrepreneur Dello Mano. 

The Tattersalls Club met at the Australia Hotel from 1983 to 1988 and then at various sites around Brisbane until ambition led to a design and development of a stand alone club room.

Opened in 1926, The Tattersalls Arcade was designed by Hall and Prentice who are also well known for their design of City Hall. The main hall of the Tattersalls Club is said to have been designed based on a repository hall at the Tattersalls Auction Room in London. The cost of building the club was 41,000 pouunds and it is estimated that a further 5000 pounds were spent on furnishing the luxurious club rooms.
