Wickham House, Spring Hill, Heritage office building in Spring Hill, Australia
Wickham House is a five-story masonry building at 155-157 Wickham Terrace featuring oriel windows, decorative mouldings, and a centrally positioned balcony. The marble-finished entrance foyer and careful facade design reflect the prosperity and professionalism that characterize the structure.
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.
In 1955, the building became the site of a tragic incident that affected multiple people and left a lasting impact on the community. This event forms part of a more complex story beyond its medical and professional purpose.
