At the beginning of Heritage Week in April 2000, local firms and home owners will be honoured at a gala ceremony in the Maryborough and Wide Bay Club. Maryborough's Wharf Street Precinct is rich with history. The street leads directly to the river and is home to the Bond Store Museum, Customs House, and the Maryborough Heritage Centre . Among the historic buildings in the Wharf Street Precinct is the Maryborough Heritage Centre. The former Bank of New South Wales was erected in 1878.
Iron columns support the verandahs which are decorated with fine lace balustrades.
The building now houses three genealogical groups - the Maryborough Family Heritage Institute, the Family History Centre, and the Maryborough and District Family History Society. Woodstock House, on the corner of Kent and Richmond Streets, was erected in 1915 for the Queensland National Bank. It is Classic Revival in style featuring a rendered brick exterior, hoop pine ceilings, and silky oak and red cedar timbers. Future plans include the Woodstock Collection Emporium which is expected to house examples of early Australian architecture and antiques. St Paul's Anglican Church, at Lennox and Ellena Streets, opened in 1879 on land donated by Edgar Aldridge.
