This row of three masonry terrace houses was built in 1881 by Brisbane builder, John Arthur Manis O’Keefe. They were designed by one of Brisbane’s most prominent architects from this era, Andrea Stombuco. The terrace houses reflect the urban development of Petrie Terrace when larger residences were being constructed on the high ridges overlooking the city for affluent residents and many small workers’ cottages were built on the slopes and valleys of the early suburb for those of lesser means. Although the terrace houses fell into disrepair, in the 1980s they were restored and today play an important role in the historic streetscape of Petrie Terrace.
