Walter Taylor (1872–1955) was an Australian visionary and builder of many Brisbane landmarks. His most notable works are the Walter Taylor Bridge and the Graceville Methodist church, both of which are heritage-listed buildings. == Early life ==
Walter Taylor was born in 1872 in Sheffield, England, the eldest child of Walter and Mary Taylor.〔(Walter Taylor South Action Group: Walter Taylor History ), accessed 15 February 2011〕 In about 1882, the family immigrated to Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, where father Walter took up work in the building trade, eventually setting up on his account as a contractor.〔 The young Walter worked with his father and learned the construction industry on the job; he did not receive any formal training in architecture, construction or engineering.〔 In 1899, his father died in the Brisbane General Hospital, following an accident while building the engine sheds at Brisbane's Roma Street railway station. Despite being a busy contractor with many projects, the winding up of his father's estate over the following year revealed he was insolvent, leaving the family penniless. This experience had a profound effect on the young Walter. Walter Taylor married Brisbane-born Louisa Johanna Elvina Charlotte Braun in 1900 and they had a daughter Thelma Henrietta Alvina in 1901.〔Queensland Registrar-General of Births, Deaths and Marriages〕 In 1902, Walter and his family sailed to England to gain more experience in the construction industry. They remained in England for 10 years, returning in 1912.〔
