Stock Exchange Arcade

The Charters Tower's Stock Exchange Arcade was built in 1888 as a prestigious shop and office arcade. Known then as the Royal Arcade, it housed the Charters Towers Stock Exchange from 1890. It was one of Australia's first few regional stock exchanges and was hooked into the world via telegraph, with three calls a day, six days a week. The exchange is a great open thoroughfare and houses the Assay Mining Museum.

The Assay room forms part of the Charters Tower's Stock Exchange, a grand masonry building in Mosman Street Charters Tower. It was built as The Royal Arcade in 1888. The Stock Exchange occupied the building in 1890. The Assay room is at the rear and contains items associated with mining history.

The Stock Exchange Arcade is open Monday to Friday 8:30am - 4.30pm and Saturday and Sunday 9:00am - 3:00pm.
