Lister House

Lister House is a heritage-listed office building at 79 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

[2] Lister House Ltd then commissioned Brisbane architect Raymond Clare Nowland to design a building which could function along the lines of the Mayo Clinic in the United States.

Their construction constituted the second phase (the first being in the 1880s) of Wickham Terrace's growth as a medical precinct, and was indicative of new directions toward specialist medicine in Queensland in the interwar years.

[1] Lister House is located towards the eastern end of Wickham Terrace, overlooking the city centre, within an area dominated by buildings accommodating medical and allied professions.

On each side of the entrance are ornate bronze lamps of florentine design and arched windows with exaggerated keystones.

[1] There are two reception and stairwell areas in the building, with the front staircase featuring silky oak treads and wrought iron balustrading.

[1] The place has a special association with the life or work of a particular person, group or organisation of importance in Queensland's history.
