The substantial brick building with its imposing front facade plays an important role in the historic landscape of Brunswick Street. Owned by wealthy cattle station owner and businessman, James Rollinson, and designed by celebrated architects Hall and Prentice, the retail premises remains an intact example of the fine commercial buildings built in this period. History The Rollinson building was built in 1925-26 as a Fortitude Valley retail premises. Built to accommodate six separate shops, the building played an important role in the retail growth of Fortitude Valley in the 1920s. Designed by eminent architectural firm, Hall and Prentice, the building makes an important contribution to the commercial streetscape on Brunswick Street. From the 1860s the population of the Valley grew, having over 1000 residents by this time. The commercial nature of the Valley was also beginning to emerge. Most commercial activity in this period was centred between Ann, Brunswick and Wickham Streets. The improvement of access from the city centre to the Valley due to the levelling of Duncan’s Hill between the two areas in the 1870s assisted the growth of this part of Brisbane In the last two decades of the nineteenth century the population of the Valley increased even more, and with this the commercial nature of the Valley centre grew with relatively large scale construction in the area.
