September Meeting – Newstead House reopening

28th Sept 2024 | presentation by Claire Moore

Brisbane’s oldest house has recently re-opened after a $6.6 million renovation.

The grand 1846 building was previously home to the fabulously wealthy merchant George Harris, who decorated the house with lurid floral and pineapple wallpaper.

Today, the house-turned-museum is run by a Board of Trustees, chaired by former Labor senator Claire Moore.

Claire will share some of the joys and challenges of this $6.6 million renovation over the past three years.

2:30 PM | Uniting Church Centre, 52 Merthyr Road, New Farm

Entry Fee (cash preferred) | $5.00 members | $10.00 non-members | includes afternoon tea.

All Welcome!
