Garden and view from the front of Montpelier, Bowen Hills, ca. 1927

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Land at the heights of Bowen Hills, which provided fine views and cooling breezes, was eagerly purchased by Brisbane’s wealthier citizens. Substantial houses were built on the hilltop and surrounding slopes, including ‘Cintra House’ (1865), ‘Folkstone’ (the 1860s), and ‘Montpelier’ (1860s). Further subdivisions in the 1870s brought new settlers to the area, again primarily to the elevated sites known as Montpelier Hill or Bowen Hill Crest. Lower-lying land was flood prone and remained poorly developed in the nineteenth century, though some industry was opened along the banks of Breakfast Creek and the Brisbane River.

    Nice Photo, and the cat is getting a snack, while the little Boy sits and watches. I wonder if the Little boy was a Native Australian ?
