Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill Guided Walk
Join an historic guided walk along Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill, leading from the Old Windmill Tower to The Inchcolm Hotel, exploring the incredible early and modern history of this terrace.
Your tour guide will be Ian Tomlinson from Brisbane Open House, who will give you an insight into the history of the Old Windmill and Reservoirs.
Take in the city views from the top of Jacob’s Ladder and King Edward Park. Ian will then take you through the history of the WW2 Air Raid Shelters and speak of Craigston, Holy Spirit Hospital, Lauriston, Ballow Chambers, and 109-113, 101 and 97 Wickham Terrace. Arriving at the corner of Wickham and Edward Streets, you will discover more about Wickham Terrace car park, City Tabernacle and United Services Lodge, before the short walk to our final destination, The Inchcolm by Ovolo.
Once you arrive at your destination, you will enjoy a short tour of the hotel including its original elevator built by the Otis Elevator Company in New York in 1928, while uncovering the Inchcolm’s affinity with the martini, before sitting back and enjoying a tipple with canapes.
