Beehive Building, Bendigo

Building in Victoria, Australia

The Beehive Building, also known for a time as the Sandhurst Mining Exchange, is a 19th-century building located on the historic thoroughfare of Pall Mall in the centre of Bendigo, a regional city in the Australian state of Victoria. Bendigo was called Sandhurst, after the famous British military academy, until the gold mining town's name was changed in 1891. The building's modern-day successor is the Bendigo Stock Exchange. It was designed by noted architect Charles Webb who briefly abandoned hs architectural career in Melbourne in 1851 to become a miner on the newly established gold diggings near Bendigo. The building, which contains the former Bendigo Mining Exchange, is an important part of Bendigo's Pall Mall streetscape, one of the most notable Victorian period streetscapes remaining in Victoria. The Greater Bendigo Council is exploring options to return the building to its former glory.
