104 Flinders Parade, Sandgate

This is one of two attractively decorated twin residences which were built circa 1893 when Sandgate was emerging as a popular holiday destination. They were built as investment properties for Daniel McNab, a tailor and outfitter who owned a successful business in Queen Street. McNab owned the block until 1898 when it was sold to Hannah Eaton Brown who retained it until her death in 1944. The houses have been occupied by a variety of tenants and may have also been used as short-term holiday accommodation, particularly during the first half of the twentieth century when the beachside town was inundated with holidaymakers in the summer months. Both houses remained on the one lot until the land was subdivided in 2006.
