Queenslanders: Their Historic Timbered Homes, 2016. Rod Fisher

In this this book the author uses two Brisbane examples as case studies to illustrate the evolution of traditional housing and the impact of change, the response to road improvements, retail and public infrastructure developments, renovation, gentrification and relocation.

The first part of the book covers several main themes, the evolution of a vernacular class of housing in the north of Australia, the historical context of traditional housing, the human dimension, and whether Brisbane was in any way different from the rest of the state.

It also serves as a guide and reference to research any house in Queensland using a dwelling in Annerley/Tarragindi to step through the process of historical investigation and exposition. The book includes a glossary and bibliography of sources to aid researchers, owners and restorers.
