The Evolution of the Queensland House
Ermabrae, Brunswick Street, New Farm, built 1902 (Queensland Museum, 1994)
The Queensland house has evolved over time. Three factors have been key to its development:
the availability of affordable, easy to use
building materials
;
how these materials shaped
the Queenslander's form
; and
building the house to suit the
setting and climate.
