Official opening day for the People's Palace, Brisbane, 1911

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The concept of temperance hotels grew out of the temperance movement and the Peoples Palace was the first of its type in Queensland. No alcohol, gambling or "other evils" were permitted on the premises.[1][4] Although not quite complete, the hotel was decorated with bright flags and hangings to celebrate Coronation Day (22 June 1911), the coronation of King George V.[5] The hotel was officially opened on 27 June 1911.[6][7][8] It was under the control of Major Wilson assisted by Ensign John McLean.[9] It was popular with travellers to Brisbane due to its convenient location to the Brisbane's Central railway station. The building also was the Queensland headquarters for the Social Wing of the Salvation Army.[3] In 1913 extensions were undertaken which involved adding an extra two storeys.[1] This created a building of such height that special fire safety measured were imposed.[10] Despite this, many years later, to meet modern fire standards, a set of brick fire stairs had to be added.

  Wow!

• Sharon Corbet said:

  Butt Bridge was replaced only in 1932, whereas this version was built in 1879. So not too much help.

• LucanTram said:

  No Loop Line Bridge, City of Dublin Junction Railway opened in 1891.
