Old Treasury Building

The Old Treasury Building was built in the mid 19th century and is a fine example of Renaissance Revival architecture. The building was originally used to store the state's gold reserves and now is a museum that exhibits interesting Victorian treasures that grant insight into the history and culture of the region. The gold vaults in the basement also make for excellent viewing. A visit to the Old Treasury Building is a must when in Melbourne, especially for history buffs and anyone looking to learn about the city's early days.
