New Farm Powerhouse (now Brisbane Powerhouse) was established in the early 1900s. It was designed by council Tramway Architect Roy Rusden Ogg and constructed in stages between 1928 and 1940. Strategically built on the eastern riverside point of what is now New Farm Park, the water from the river provided cooling while the rail link supplied coal. The Powerhouse was an important part of the tramway system as it supplied electricity to the trams, as well as a range of inner-city suburbs. However, when trams were replaced by buses, the Council sold the building to the state and the Powerhouse was officially decommissioned in 1971. The Powerhouse may have ceased operation but it opened its doors to a new crowd. The building then became a shelter for the homeless, a site for target practice for the army, a location for film-makers, and a haven for graffiti artists who want to display their artwork which are now officially known as heritage-listed aerosol art.

Thornton erected the first prefabricated building in Queensland on the Main Street frontage of his property, a very comfortable two-storied residence, which stood until only a few years ago when it made way for a new motel. His stables were in the rear of the house. A brick and cement baths were on the river bank together with a jetty, whence his boat took him daily to and from the Customs House. Next door to Thornton's were some old brick and cement shops and, adjoining these, where "Travelodge" Motel stands, my grandfather John McDonnell* built "Prospect" in 1863.

" ... In 1916, the house was cleared and remained empty until 1950. It was inherited in July 1939 by Edwina Mountbatten, who, with her husband Admiral of the Fleet Louis Mountbatten, made several improvements, installing electricity and a mains water supply.[3] After his wife's death in February 1960, Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, spent his summers there until his death when his boat was blown up off the coast of Mullaghmore by the Provisional Irish Republican Army in August 1979 ...
