Bostonian Apartments in Spencer Chambers:
In the late 1920s or early 1930s, Leonard Spencer, a coach builder and ironmonger, constructed his own building, Spencer Chambers, at 53 Edward Street and moved his warehouse from Spencer's Building next door.
The building has been carefully renovated over the years, maintaining its historical character while adapting to modern demands. In the late 1990s, it was reimagined as The Bostonian, a residential space featuring high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and timber flooring that evoke the warmth and style of classic New York lofts. Today, it offers a distinctive living experience right in the heart of Brisbane?s vibrant central business district.
