6B/217 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill QLD 4000

Dr Sydney Fancourt McDonald was a very successful Spring Hill paediatrician, who never had children of his own. He was described as, "very proper, very correct and formal, who lived his professional life in the tradition of the highest ideals of clinical medicine." In 1927 Dr McDonald led a group of medical practitioners in the development of "Craigston", their suites on their ground floor and homes above.

They no doubt wanted the convenience of apartment living, but with the hilltop elevation, stately charm and grandeur befitting some of this city's leaders in the medical fraternity. It was an innovative concept, a first for Brisbane, and the best architects and builders were engaged.

And today, 89 years later, you have the opportunity to purchase Dr McDonald's own apartment.
