Description:"Public fundraising enabled the establishment of Brisbane Grammar School in 1868. It was Brisbane's first Grammar School. In 1868 Prince Alfred, laid the foundation stone at the School's original site in Roma Street. The school opened in February 1869 with ninety-four students and four masters under the leadership of Headmaster, Thomas Harlin. In 1881, the school was moved to its present site at Gregory Terrace and the magnificent Neo-Gothic style Great Hall and classrooms were opened that year. The building was designed by architect James Cowlishaw. With the opening of the Boarding House in 1886, the school became one of the first to provide unified boarding facilities on site".
