'Edgecliffe' was built in 1936 for a William Danaher, one of Brisbane's foremost bookmakers. This historic block of flats was built on the former 'Hawstead' estate, which extended from Moray St to Bowen Tce. The new flats were built during the interwar boom, catering for growing demand for accommodation in New Farm. The distinctive features of this beautiful residence remain largely identical to its' original design description: 'A three storey, symmetrical building with a vertical stairwell window juxtaposed by the streamlined horizontal stucco and brick banding and faceted bay windows with wide overhanging eaves'.
Throughout the best part of a century, 'Edgecliffe' has proudly watched, atop its perch on Moray Street, as New Farm and indeed the River City transformed into the metropolitan and Olympic City we know today. As history repeats itself, the demand for accommodation in New Farm is again on the rise. Take the opportunity to secure one of the original residences in beautiful suburb, taking in the historic charm and delight with all the modern conveniences one could need.
