What is the history of Spring Hill?
Spring Hill grew as one of the older residential quarters of Brisbane, filling with churches and civic buildings rather than around a single charter. It was first called Spring Hollow, for natural springs that supplemented the town's early water supply. Its heritage runs through built landmarks such as the Cathedral of St Stephen, the Museum of Brisbane, and the Albert Street Uniting Church, which tie the suburb to the early growth of the City of Brisbane.
Many houses date from the 1800s. But in recent decades much of the older stock has been demolished for office blocks and apartments.
