Heritage Citation Selwyn Key details Also known as The Manse Addresses At 40 Dorchester Street, South Brisbane, Queensland 4101 Type of place House Period Victorian 1860-1890 Lot plan L21_RP127282 Key dates Local Heritage Place Since — 30 October 2000 Date of Citation — June 2015 Construction Roof: Corrugated iron; Walls: Brick - Painted Criterion for listing (A) Historical; (B) Rarity This house was constructed by 1881 and was used as a manse for the Congregational Church in South Brisbane. The manse became the residence of the church’s ministers, and was occasionally used to host social events. The manse remained in use by the church until 1964 when it served for a brief time as a community centre before being sold into private hands. The Manse remains in use as a private residence to this day. History The Congregational Church came to Queensland in the 1850s, with the establishment of churches at Ipswich and Brisbane. A South Brisbane parish was established relatively early, with a growing population and a popular minister ready to serve in the area. The first meeting of the South Brisbane church was held at the Mechanics Institute in Stanley Street on 9 July 1865. Its first permanent place of worship was established in Grey Street, Date of Citation — June 2015 Page 1 with the inaugural service held on 13 January 1867. South Brisbane was quickly growing into a popular residential suburb, and the South Brisbane Congregational Church attracted some of Brisbane’s prominent citizens, including banker Sir Alfred Charles Davidson and land agent Simon Fraser. The congregation reached out into the community, holding annual tea services and a series of public lectures. -

A STUDY OF THE PORIIATION OF THE BRISBANE T01\rN PLAN David N, Cox, B.A. Department of Government and Political Science Submitted for the degree of Master of Arts 12 December 1968 CHAPTER I TOWN PLANNING IN BRISBANE TO 1953 The first orderly plans for the City of Brisbane were in the form of an 1840 suirvey preceding the sale of allotments to the public. The original surveyor was Robert Dixon, but he was replaced by Henry Wade in 1843• Wade proposed principal streets ihO links (92,4 ft.) in width, allotments of ^ acre to allow for air space and gardens, public squares, and reserves and roads along 2 the river banks. A visit to the proposed village by the New South Wales Colonial Governor, Sir George Gipps, had infelicitous results. To Gipps, "It was utterly absurd, to lay out a design for a great city in a place which in the very 3 nature of things could never be more than a village." 1 Robinson, R.H., For My Country, Brisbane: W, R.

He went further to say that "open spaces shown on the pleua were highly undesirable, since they might prove an inducement to disaffected persons to assemble k tumultuously to the detriment of His Majesty's peace." The Governor thus eliminated the reserves and river 5 front plans and reduced allotments to 5 to the acre. -

Chaffer Six in Retrospect
CHAFFER SIX IN RETROSPECT It could be argued that technical education in Queensland started in August 1909 with the Technical Instruction Act. It could also be argued that it started in May 1905 when the Board of Technical Education was abolished and the Technical Education Branch created to replace it. It could also be presented as argument that it started in January 1899 when the Brisbane Technical College Incorporation Act came into force. Some would argue further that it came into being in August 1882 when a public meeting anointed the technical school of North Brisbane School of Arts. So when did Technical Education start in Queensland? Was it on 14 August 1882?; was it on 1 January 1899?; was it on 27 May 1905?; or was it on 1 August 1909? The date is obviously open to subjective discussion but its determination is not essential. What is essential however, is acceptance of the proposition that the first steps in the development of systematic technical education in Queensland were taken between that public meeting in August 1882 and the implementation of the Brisbane Technical College Incorporation Act in January 1899. Technical education then became a formalised adjunct to, but distinct from, the State education system. This continued until May 1905 when government regulations brought about the Technical Education Branch of the Education Department. This formalisation process culminated in the Technical Instruction Act of 1909 whereby technical education as a separate sector, and not just a funding problem, became part of Queensland's education system. From then to the mid-1970s, when it acquired its new name `TAFE', technical education in Queensland was a sector of education which, although fulfilling a critical role in providing post-secondary education and training for large numbers of people, was consistently under-valued and under-resourced. -
The South Brisbane Municipal Chambers: a Landmark with Many Pasts
The South Brisbane Municipal Chambers: A landmark with many pasts Peter Roennfeldt p.roennfeldt@griffith.edu.au Abstract During its 125-year history, the South Brisbane Municipal Chambers (Old Town Hall) has had numerous custodians and functions. Designed as a prominent landmark directly across the Brisbane River from the Queensland Parliament building, its ornate architectural features make it a unique example of late colonial extravagance. With the absorption of the City of South Brisbane into the greater Brisbane City Council in 1925, the building lost its original purpose, but was subsequently deployed in various ways. After serving as a Council Works Depot, it became the headquarters of the US armed forces Military Police during World War II, and was then converted into post-war residential flats for government engineers and architects. Since the late 1950s, ‘The Chambers’ has been an educational and cultural centre, initially as the first campus of the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, then as a centre for adult learning, and finally now in its completely refurbished form as part of the girls’ school Somerville House. This ‘building biography’ traces the various phases of this iconic landmark from the viewpoint of those who worked, lived or studied there, and also provides insights into its social context within the South Brisbane community. Known affectionately but erroneously as the ‘Old Town Hall’, the South Brisbane Municipal Chambers has served many purposes over the past 125 years. Until the distinctive edifice was purchased by Somerville House in the late 1990s, it had periodically adapted to the widely contrasting demands of local government and the US Armed Forces. -
