The Cook Terraces on Coronation Drive, Milton is considered an iconic heritage building landmark. It is one of few intact and surviving nineteenth-century terraces in Brisbane. The building was constructed as a two-storeyed brick row of six houses in 1888-89 by Joseph Blain Cook. An opportunity exists now to acquire a piece of Brisbane's history, as Terrace Home 2/249 Coronation Drive, Milton is available for sale. Imagine living in the property and calling it your home while being moments from the City, Brisbane River, Restaurants, Pubs and multiple modes of transport.

Now for a bit of history, within two years of construction, Joseph Blain Cook was declared insolvent. By 1895 the row was known as Milton Terrace and it was one of Brisbane's most prestigious rental addresses until well into the twentieth century, attracting mainly professional and white-collar tenants. By the end of the thirties, the Terraces were known as Gloralgar Flats and in the post war period, the verandah's were enclosed and converted into 27 flats. Despite its decline, the building remained a visual landmark along Coronation Drive and in 1984 the terrace was refurbished and recycled as offices and a restaurant.
