First Brisbane Grammar School, Roma St, 1874. This building was situated on the railway side of the road at approximately the junction of Roma, George and Herschell Streets. The foundation stone was laid on 29 February, 1868 by Prince Alfred, later Duke of Edinburgh. The school was formally opened on 1 February 1869. Soon afterwards the Ipswich to Brisbane railway was built as far as Roma Street and growth of railway activities forced the Trustees to move the school to its present site in Gregory Terrace. The first site is now part of the Roma Street Railway Station complex, and the school building was used for some time as Railway Dept. Offices. (Description supplied with photograph) Photographer: J.
