The Queen's Building is a grade II listed building in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands of England. Built in 1849 as the carriage entrance to Wolverhampton railway station, it opened three years before the station itself.[1] The two buildings were built in a similar style, but the station building was replaced in the 1960s.[1] The Queen's Building has not been used as the carriage entrance for many years but functions as part of the city's bus station up to date.[1]
