It was originally used for the collection of customs duty and was both completed and opened in 1889,[1] when Queensland was a British colony, replacing the original Customs House located at Petrie Bight. Construction was finished in three years at a cost of £38,346.[2] Customs House is a Brisbane landmark known for its distinctive copper dome.[3] The building was designed by Charles McLay of the Queensland Colonial Architect's Office. Despite no government in the country having a coat of arms at the time, the building features a depiction on its facade of a shield between an emu and kangaroo.[1] The downstream end of the Brisbane central business district was selected to spur the development of wharves in the precinct known as Petrie Bight.[3] The building is now leased by the University of Queensland and was refurbished in the 1990s. There is a restaurant and function centre within the building, and regular concerts and art exhibitions are also held here. The Long Room was once the place customs business was transacted.[3] Today the room is used for lectures and dinners.

Some of the older trees planted in the Gardens were the first of their species to be planted in Australia, due to the first curator, Walter Hill, who engaged in experiments to acclimatise plants.

The George Street frontage was completed in 1868 in French Renaissance style; it was built by Joshua Jeays. The original zinc roof was replaced in the 1980's with one constructed from Mount Isa copper. The colonnades were built in 1878 and construction on the Alice Street frontage commenced in 1887. A 22-storey Parliamentary Annexe building was completed in 1979, built within the grounds of the Old Parliament House. Art exhibitions and other displays are frequently staged in the spacious ground floor areas of the Annexe. Free public guided tours of the Parliament are available each day. Also, a gift shop, selling souvenirs and memorabilia, is located in the main foyer.

It is named after the suburb of Woolloongabba, in which it is located. The official name of the ground, however, is still Brisbane Cricket Ground. The land on which the ground sits was first set aside for use as a cricket ground in 1895. The first cricket match was held on the site on 19 December 1896 between Parliament and The Press. The Gabba was not used for interstate or international cricket until 1931. The first Sheffield Shield match scheduled for The Gabba was to be played between 31 January 1931 and 4 February 1931. However, it was washed out without the captains' even bothering to toss a coin. The first cricket Test match at The Gabba was played between Australia and South Africa between 27 November and 3 December 1931. Over the years, The Gabba has hosted athletics, Australian rules football, baseball, concerts, cricket, cycling, rugby league, rugby union, soccer and pony and greyhound races. Between 1993 and 2005, The Gabba was redeveloped in six stages at a cost of $128,000,000 AUD. The dimensions of the playing field are now 170.6 metres (east-west) by 149.9 metres (north-south). The seating capacity of the ground is now 42,000.
