Francis Lookout survives to this day, and includes a small burial ground opened in 1862.

[4] Most of the original older-style Queenslander homes date back to the colonial period and were built high on the hills around the lookout.

Many large bungalow styled homes were built on the floodplain toward Oxley Creek during this time.

One of those orders was the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart who came to Brisbane and established St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, which opened on 28 January 1917 with 50 students.

The home closed in 2001 as the organisation transitioned away from institutional care towards community and in-home support services.
