The four story brick and stone Salvation Army's People's Palace on the corner of Ann and Edward Streets in the city in Brisbane, was opened by Commissioner Hay on 28 June 1911. Salvation Army commander Major Booth gained support for a Brisbane People's Palace a place for the reclaiming of fallen humanity and providing shelter for the homeless, after his public lecture on "Social salvation" . Originally modelled on the success of the Sydney People's Palace, the Brisbane building evolved to provide affordable accommodation for working class travelling people. (Brisbane Courier, 18th July 1899 p 6.) With 130 bedrooms and a rooftop garden capable of seating 200 people The Brisbane Courier reported the Palace as "fitted with all the very latest conveniences for the comfort of residents. The three-course lunch from 12 o'clock to 2 p.m. for 1/ should satisfy the most fastidious epicure". (Thursday 6 July 1911, page 5) Designed by Lieutenant-Colonel Saunders, the Salvation Army's architect and secretary for property affairs, it became popular with travellers to Brisbane due to its proximity to Central Railway Station. In keeping with their beliefs, the Salvation Army hostel allowed neither alcholol nor gambling on the premisis. Source: www.slq.qld.gov.au/blog/peoples-palace
