OSI 25" link at GeoHive (not that much has changed). The #15 tram tracks and overhead wires are the big change.

Fashion guesses? I am thinking 1910, max 20.

#108 at left says Heffernan, and here is John Heffernan in 1901 and 1911

The construction of Perry House occupied a considerable period of time, beginning in 1911 and not reaching completion until early 1913. Frequent strikes appear to have slowed progress. Perry House was the highest building in Brisbane on its completion and its construction was followed with great interest by the Brisbane community. Perry House was then the tallest building in Brisbane with every floor occupied by the Perry Bros business activities and storage of goods. An extra story was added in 1923. Perry House is still believed to be the tallest timber structure in the southern hemisphere. In the intervening years, Perry House was used as a commercial building and even by the US Military during World War Two. In 1996 after a substantial redevelopment, the heritage-listed Perry House was opened as the Royal Albert Hotel. Source: monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/technology/industry/displ...

Hotels thus played an intrinsic role in the development of Brisbane, particularly given the significance of land speculation in the city’s history. This is reinforced by the construction of this hotel during a property boom when the need for temporary accommodation was acute. The Exchange Hotel was situated in the locality known as ‘Frogs Hollow’, an area bounded by Alice, George, Elizabeth, and Edward Streets. For much of the nineteenth century, this section of the city was known as Frogs Hollow because it was a low-lying, marshy area prone to flooding. The Exchange Hotel was remodeled in 1887 during another period of an economic and building boom in Brisbane, which occurred throughout most of the 1880s. During this period a large number of Brisbane hotels were built or extended and redeveloped, primarily to accommodate the dramatic increase of Brisbane’s population, which almost trebled during the decade. Architect John Ibler invited tenders for alterations and additions to the Hotel in early June 1887. Idler was born in Bavaria, Germany, and practiced as an architect in Victoria before moving to Brisbane in 1886. It is unclear what ‘alterations and additions were carried out but it is likely that the Hotel was extended along the Edward and Charlotte Street frontages, amongst other changes. The current shape of the building was therefore fixed in this period. Source: heritage.brisbane.qld.gov.au/heritage-places/1991

Really cool find, excellent subject shot

When did the Lee Tidewater Cypress Company quit operations? I did some Googling, but couldn't find a clear answer.
Juding from the overgrowth, the engine must have been at this location for a long time.

Somebody forgot about this old guy

Can I buy it? It is beautiful!

How awesome. I need to find something like this in Texas.
