Brisbane Arcade is Brisbanes oldest shopping mall. It was built in 1923 for Dr James Mayne, and his sister
Mary Emelia Mayne. It was designed by Richard Gailey, Junior (the son
of architect Richard Gailey)
Brother
and sister, siblings and parents lived in a Butcher Shop built by
Patrick Mayne. It was built on blood money that Patrick admitted to on
his death bed. The Mayne siblings had the butcher shop and home pulled
down, and built this amazing arcade. All the proceeds from this arcade
go to medicine.
A fascinating book to read, is the Mayne Inheritance..
