Collins Place (South Brisbane, Queensland)

            Collins Place was constructed in 1889 or 1890 for Ship Inn proprietor Michael Foley, on land he acquired in 1887. Around the same time Foley also built the neighbouring semi-detached houses of Greyscourt and Beth Eden, which later became known conjointly as Grays Court. Foley's houses were erected during the boom which transformed Grey Street - South Brisbane's principal residential street since the mid 1840s - into a fashionable address.

From 1890 until the early 1910s it was occupied by respected Brisbane surgeon Francis Glynn Connolly, who called the house Byanda.

It passed from the Foley family in 1928, but remained a rental property through subsequent ownerships.

Lynette Bloss, who purchased the property in 1983 and renovated the building, unsuccessfully appealed against its resumption by the Expo Authority in 1984. Ms Bloss bestowed the name Collins Place to commemorate 1857 deed of grant holder, squatter John Collins.

During Expo '88 the building functioned as Collins Place Spaghetti House. The building was used as a police station before a major restoration in 2020.
