I'm wondering if that building to the right of the Bar could be named after J. S. O'Donohue. He was a council member of the Fortitude Valley National Party as documented in the Darling Downs Gazette dated Sat 13 Oct 1888. I've seen mentions of him on electoral rolls being a house and estate agent in the city area but residing in Harcourt St, New Farm. I've also seen an employment offered advert in The Telegraph (Brisbane) dated Tue 30 May 1893 - page 5 WANTED Strong, Young Female General Servant. Apply J. S. O'Donohue Farmers' Exchange, Wickham and Warner Streets, Valley. Perhaps that is the name of your hotel in this picture. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/174081442/19174384 I hope this might give some clues to the identity and location of both buildings in this photo. ...

Thank you for the information Deb.

Townsville Central State School is a heritage-listed state school and former prison at 4-6 Warburton Street, North Ward, City of Townsville, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Francis Drummond Greville Stanley and built from 1877 to 1880 by J Rooney. It is also known as the former Townsville Gaol and Residence of the Police Inspector. In March 1869, four years after the settlement of Townsville, the first recognized school, the National School, was opened in a building that had been used as the Burdekin and Flinders Hospital on The Strand. The school began with 48 students with an average attendance for the year of 53. The school expanded in 1873 to include a girls' school for which a new building was erected in 1874 and an infant school was established in 1876 with its new building erected in 1879. In 1878 over 200 girls were attending the school. The school is located on Warburton Street at North Ward on a 3.405 ha flat site facing east at the foot of Castle Hill. The brick fence with iron balustrade to Warburton street is covered by a hedge and lined with mature shade trees. The gardens contain a variety of equipment, mature and ornamental trees, garden beds and seating areas. The site is bound to the south by a residential unit development on Gregory Street. A car park with entrance from Gregory Street, to the Dental Clinic adjacent to the west side of the quadrangle wall is fenced off from the school and sit adjacent to the hospital reserve. The Botanical Gardens form the western boundary and a day care centre and a preschool are located along the northern boundary to Kennedy Street.
