  SL NSW is there a reason the quality of this image is far better here on Flickr than at the item location on the SL NSW site, where it is quite pixellated?

  The People’s Palace was originally built as one of several temperance hotels in Australia and New Zealand by the Salvation Army, a Christian church and charitable organisation, to provide comfortable accommodation where alcohol was prohibited. The Salvation Army bought the Brisbane site, at the corner of Ann and Edward Streets in 1908, and assigned its in-house architect, Colonel Saunders, to design the hotel. When completed in 1911 the People's Palace was a substantial brick building. The building included three floors, basement, a prominent corner tower, and balconies overlooking the two streets. Three additional floors were added year or two later. The Salvation Army maintained operation into the 1970's when it leased the premises to a commercial hotel operator. Around 1985 the church adapted parts of the building to serve as offices for its social services. In 1996 the church sold the People's Palace building to the present owner, which is currently being leased and operated as a backpacker hostel.
