In 1927, G.E. Adams, a cake manufacturer, acquired the titles for two lots (just over 61 perches) in Costin Street for the purposes of building a modern factory and offices. Two houses on the site were removed and an application for the construction of the factory approved by the Greater Brisbane City Council in 1926. The estimated cost of the building was £6 000 and the builders were A. Stonadge and Son. Sidney W. Prior designed the one storey brick building for Adams. The cake manufacturing firm of Adams Brothers was established in the southern states in the nineteenth century by G. E. Adams (Sydney) and C. Adams (Melbourne). By the early 1920s, G. E. Adams had formed his own company and established a manufacturing and retail presence in Brisbane. At this time, the firm operated a factory in Warry Street, Spring Hill. Adams expanded into central Queensland and spent £12 000 building new retail shops in Brisbane during the mid-1920s. The new factory in Costin Street was claimed to be “the most up-to-date and hygienic factory of its kind in Queensland” with electric revolving ovens, modern machinery and a modern freezing plant for the storage of ingredients. The factory produced 14 tons of cake each week. Within two years, the building had been extended and improvements added. By 1946, the additions running the length of the building on the eastern and western sides had been built. The factory at Costin Street remained in the ownership of G.E. Adams until 1968. It changed hands several times before it was acquired by Ann and Harry Garms in 1989. Garms, a Brisbane entrepreneur, also purchased the neighbouring allotment to the east, increasing the holding to 2160 m². Source: heritage.brisbane.qld.gov.au/heritage-places/2421#:~:text...

500 apples would make a couple of gallons, not a pint. Even if they were crab apples it would still be a few pints.

It says in the census he lived in O'Connell Street, so it's presumably here: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,625421,593310,11,9 Edit: Or possibly not. No matter how you count it, I don't think you'd get Brewery Lodge to be house 16, especially since the buildings return says it's a shop. Mind you, I don't see anything else marked as either a brewery, a bottling plant, or a jam factory (his other occupations), so maybe this is it and he just lives over the shop instead of in a swanky house.

Here we go. It appears from this related photo (catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000591865) that it's here: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,625603,593223,11,9

12 November 1906 was a Monday.

derangedlemur Looking at your 25" link, we are looking West, the big house behind the wall must be Brewery Lodge (now gone) and the chimneys are Saint Brigid's Well Brewery. The brewery gate arch is still standing, from 1862 (streetview).
