DescriptionThe Blackall Monument was dedicated to Governor Blackall, the second governor of Queensland whose tenure began in 1868 and ended in 1871. It was designed by architect F D G Stanley and was built in 1879 as a monument and a drinking fountain, though its use as a drinking fountain was discontinued.
Originally, the monument stood near St Paul's church at the intersection of Nicholas Street and Brisbane Street, but as Ipswich grew and the intersection became busier, it was judged that the monument's continued existence in its current place was unsafe and it was removed in 1927 and installed at the corner of Outridge Street and Chelmsford Avenue, Denmark Hill.
