Friday flashback to vintage Brisbane and a look at vintage images from Queensland State Archives of Brisbane’s heritage listed Yungaba House.

Yungaba House was used for a number of purposes but was originally built in 1885 as an accommodation venue for migrants to Australia. You can read more about Yungaba in my previous blog post here.

All week on my Lady Brisbane Instagram account I have been featuring the beautiful restoration of Yungaba House by Frasers Property Group. Frasers completed the restoration process with a committed passion for craftsmanship and expertise returning this historical Brisbane building to a superb architectural icon. 

Rare and beautiful take the opportunity to own a piece of Yungaba House with the final lovingly refurbished riverfront heritage residences now available for sale.
