Lister House is a heritage-listed office building at 79 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is also known as the Brisbane Clinic. It was designed by Raymond C Nowland and built from 1930 to 1948 by J I Green & Son. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. == History == This two-storeyed masonry building was constructed in 1930 as purpose-designed medical suites for Lister House Ltd, a group of medical practitioners.〔 Like its neighbour Inchcolm, it is built on the site of the first Inchcolm building. In 1929 Lister House Ltd acquired the site from the Wharf Street Congregational Church (the church having decided to construct their new church on a more central site). Lister House Ltd then commissioned Brisbane architect Raymond Clare Nowland to design a building which could function along the lines of the Mayo Clinic in the United States. The contractor for the project was J I Green & Co.〔 Drs Leslie John Jarvis Nye, John Bostock and John Power used the American model to institute the first specialist group practice in Queensland, the Brisbane Clinic, characterised by new standards of investigation and treatment, group consultation, shared facilities, and a reading circle (until the 1950s).〔 Lister House was one of a number of interwar medical office redevelopments along Wickham Terrace. These included Inchcolm, Ballow Chambers, Wickham House and Craigston. Their construction constituted the second phase (the first being in the 1880s) of Wickham Terrace's growth as a medical precinct, and was indicative of new directions toward specialist medicine in Queensland in the interwar years.〔 In 1948 the building was extended to the rear with the addition of a second reception and stairwell area and six offices on each storey.〔 Some renovation of the building was undertaken in the 1980s.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lister House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
