St Aubins Village is known as one of Rockhampton’s most historic and breathtaking buildings and for the last few years it has predominantly operated as a wedding venue.
Come next month, the venue will be open to locals and tourists alike as a teahouse and a gift shop are in the works.
The historic building was built in 1889 and is made of bricks from the brickworks which was formerly located on the site.
The brickworks provided the bricks for many of the buildings in Quay and East Street and the Mater Hospital.
It was the last brickworks in the city in 1930.

Josh Mullineaux has hung up his mining industry hat for the very last time and is now moving ahead with opening his new Emu Park burger bar, a move that will let him spend more time with his family.
He’s been working hard doing the prep work for the new Fortyseven 10 Burger Bar at Emu Park for months but when the opportunity to take over a bigger shopfront came up, he pounced on the chance.
Mr Mullineaux got the name for the business from the town’s postcode - 4710.
The old store was almost ready to go, but Mr Mullineaux knew he wanted to expand to a bigger location a couple of years down the track, so thought it best to take the leap now.
