We met at South Bank and sketched the Plough Inn. This two-storeyed former hotel was constructed in 1885 for Brisbane
publican Daniel Costigan. It replaced a previous, less substantial
structure on the site, which had functioned as the Plough Inn since
1864. The new building was erected during South Brisbane's heyday and
was part of the 1880s boom-time reconstruction of Stanley Street
premises.
