Stones Corner is an inner southern suburb of City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. [2]
Stones Corner is centred on the junction of Logan Road and Old Cleveland Road. [3]
The area was originally known as Burnett's Swamp, being low-lying land around the flood-prone Norman Creek. The triangle of land (the "corner") at the south-east of the junction of Logan Road and Old Cleveland Road was purchased by James Stone in 1875. He tried to get a licence to operate a hotel at the location but was unsuccessful so he brewed and sold ginger beer instead. The area took the name Stone's Corner as a result and later became a suburb with that name. [4] [5]
The present Stones Corner Hotel was opened on the site in 1888 as the Junction Hotel by Denis O'Connor. [6] [7]
On Sunday 10 August 1913, a new Catholic church at Stones Corner was dedicated by Archbishop James Duhig. [8]
In 1931, the Annerley Church of Christ commenced outreach into Stones Corner, but the initiative was not successful and it ceased after a few years. [9]
Stones Corner Library opened on 25 January 1950. [10] It had a major refurbishment in 1996. [11]
In 1975, the suburb of Stones Corner was absorbed into the neighbouring suburb of Greenslopes before officially returning to a suburb of its own in November 2017. [2] [12]
The Brisbane City Council operates the Stones Corner Library at 280 Logan Road. [13]
