Ashby House - The History
The Home of UniMed Brisbane
UniMed Brisbane is located at 135 Brougham Street in Fairfield, a house well known in the local area as Ashby House. The history of Ashby House is lengthy and has been traced back to around 1890 when it was built for its owners George and Mary Grimes and their family.
George Grimes and several other members of his family were quite active in the early years of Fairfield and the surrounding suburbs, yet little remains to show how they shaped the suburb. Ashby House is the most significant landmark still remaining and has, over the years, had numerous other owners prior to being purchased by UniMed Brisbane. A common theme among several owners of Ashby House is a strong connection with the local community. As research continues more information about Ashby House and its owners will appear on this page. A brief timeline showing the owners of Ashby House is shown below, and the video clip gives a brief overview of the history of Ashby House. If anyone has more information about the people who have owned or lived at Ashby House, or pictures of Ashby House at any stage of its 127 year history please contact us. |
