  Brisbane City Hall: a construction timeline 1864: First Town Hall in Queen Street. 1882: Building is considered inadequate. The early 1900s: Controversy over two sites for new Brisbane City Hall; Centenary Place and the current site. The early 1900s: The existing site is chosen, despite it being a swamp, because it is largely council-owned land and few resumptions are needed. 1909: Brisbane City Hall is designed but ratepayers balk at paying the 180,000 pounds needed to build it. 1917: Original foundation stone is laid by Governor Gould Adams to "build enthusiasm" for the project. 1919: The project is estimated to cost 480,000 pounds. 1920: Second foundation stone is put in place by the Prince of Wales. 1920: A workman drowns during construction. Foundations have to go down 54 feet before bedrock can be found. 1924: Construction begins. Source: www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/brisbane-cit...
