Inchcolm is a heritage-listed former office building at 73 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Eric P Trewern and built in 1930 by J I Green & Son. It was converted into a hotel in 1998, and renovated in 2014. It now trades as the New Inchcolm Hotel and Suites. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 23 March 1998.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Discover )〕 == History == This five-storeyed masonry office building was constructed in 1930, on a site which has been associated with the medical profession since the 1880s, when the first Inchcolm was established by Dr John Thomson. This building contained both his private residence and consulting rooms, and during the 1910s and 1920s it operated as a private hospital.〔 The first Inchcolm was bought by the Wharf Street Congregational Church in 1925 with the intention of constructing a new church on that site. However, it was subsequently decided that the church needed a more centrally located site in the city, and so sold Inchcolm in 1929. Part of the site was purchased by Inchcolm Ltd, a group of medical practitioners initiated by George Douglas. The company commissioned Brisbane architect Eric Percival Trewern, who was influential in popularising Georgian revival style in Brisbane domestic building during the interwar years, to design a new medical office building for the site, the present Inchcolm. The other part of the site was sold to a consortium who erected the neighbouring Lister House.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://brisbaneclinic.com.au/our-history/ )〕 Constructed by builders J I Green & Son in 1930, Inchcolm was part of the interwar redevelopment of the medical precinct along Wickham Terrace, which included Brisbane Clinic (Lister House), Ballow Chambers, Wickham House, and Craigston. Their construction constituted the second phase (the first being in the 1880s) of Wickham Terrace's growth as a medical precinct, and was indicative of new directions toward specialist medicine in Queensland in the interwar years.〔 Inchcolm was converted into a hotel in 1998, and was renovated in 2014. It now trades as the New Inchcolm Hotel and Suites.〔 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「Inchcolm, Spring Hill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
