Description
DescriptionThe corner of Limestone and Nicholas streets has a varied history. Once home to Dr. Challinor, the corner was later owned by Mr Moore, a wheelwright, and his wife who ran a boarding house. In 1883, W. Thomas, a boot maker, resided there until John Joseph Broughton established his coach building works on the site in 1884. After his retirement in 1914, his two sons H. J. & A. E. Broughton continued the business. In 1927, the site was remodelled for the display of motor vehicles with upholstery, renovation, painting and garage work also carried out on site. By 1946 the building was used by Percy Keidge, who had established Keidge Motors in 1936. The business continues today at Warwick Road under the name ‘Keidges Farm Machinery’. The building was also occupied by the Ipswich Gas & Coke Company Ltd. The site is now part of the Ipswich Civic Centre, opened in 1975 by then Prime Minister Gough Whitlam.References (offline)Queensland Times 16th April 1938Queensland Times 14th May 1927
