Collins Place is a heritage-listed detached house at 271 Grey Street, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was built . It is also known as Greyscourt and Byanda. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. == History == Collins Place was constructed in 1889 or 1890 for Ship Inn proprietor Michael Foley, on land he acquired in 1887. Around the same time Foley also built the neighbouring semi-detached houses of Greyscourt and Beth Eden, which later became known conjointly as Grays Court. Foley's houses were erected during the boom which transformed Grey Street, South Brisbane's principal residential street since the mid 1840s, into a fashionable address.〔 From 1890 until the early 1910s it was occupied by respected Brisbane surgeon Francis Glynn Connolly who called the house Byanda.〔 It passed from the Foley family in 1928, but remained a rental property through subsequent ownerships.〔 Lynette Bloss, who purchased the property in 1983 and renovated the building, unsuccessfully appealed against its resumption by the Expo Authority in 1984. Ms Bloss bestowed the name Collins Place to commemorate 1857 deed of grant holder, squatter John Collins.〔 During Expo '88 the building functioned as Collins Place Spaghetti House. At the time of the building's heritage listing in 1992, it was in use as a police station.〔 The precinct around Collins Place was redeveloped in 2013-14 with a major residential, commercial and hotel development named "Southpoint" being built around the historic building. Collins Place has been retained as a focal point for the development, and will house a restaurant or tavern when complete. However, the redevelopment of the site involved raising the 330 tonne property by nine metres which occurred in December 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Collins Place, South Brisbane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
