Wickham House, Spring Hill, Heritage office building in Spring Hill, Australia

Wickham House is a five-storey rendered brick building with reinforced concrete floors at 155–157 Wickham Terrace, with an attic added in the 1960s. Its three-bay Wickham Terrace facade has oriel windows, a central balcony with rendered balustrading, and double-hung sash windows with multi-paned upper sashes. The seven-bay Upper Edward Street facade has a round-arched entrance below decorative brackets.

Dr. ACF Halford commissioned construction in 1923, transforming the former Windmill Hill area into a medical district. This project marked the start of a new era of professionalization in Brisbane's healthcare sector.

The building shows how doctors in Brisbane moved from residential spaces to specialized professional offices during the interwar years. This shift shaped the neighborhood and made it a center for medical specialists.

The building continues to house medical specialist practices operating from its offices today. Visitors should be aware that it functions as a working medical center with specific access hours and protocols to follow.

On 1 December 1955, Karl Kast shot Dr Michael Joseph Gallagher in his Wickham House rooms, then set off three bombs in the foyer; patient George Boland lost part of a hand trying to stub one out. Kast went on to Ballow Chambers, about 100 metres along Wickham Terrace, where he killed Dr Andrew Russell Murray and himself. Dr Arthur Vincent Meehan also died.
