Run by the Queensland Ladies History Organisation, this house is slowly being restored back to the state it was in when it was first built.
It has gone through many changes in it's lifetime, from a grand family home for a prominent Brisbane family to being divided up in war time to house multiple families or individuals. Then the ladies bought it and are doing their good work.
The Australian Costumers Guild, Brisbane Chapter held an Victorian themed afternoon tea there and I've been back twice since.
B- Newstead House
This beautiful old building was home to one of the more influential families of Brisbane's early history. It has wide, sweeping verandas overlooking Brisbane river and surrounded by Newstead park. We visited this park and the house for afternoon tea with the organisers of an event for Brisbane's 100 years federation celebrations. Unfortunately we left the ACG before event came around.
C- City Hall
I have been to City Hall a few times in the last few years. The first was for photos of our 2nd retro afternoon tea. Another time I went for a doll exhibition with Mel L. A third time I went with Donna at lunch-time to view a display of historical garments.
(Also visited: Booval House, Wolston House, Fort Lytton.)
