Aubigny, North Quay

Aubigny (later called Loretto) was a house located at 273 North Quay, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

The house was originally built in 1870 by Samuel Davis, a Jewish businessman, and included a separate building used as Brisbane's first synagogue.

[1][2] In 1899, the Perkins family rented the property to the Criminal Investigation Department which used the house as offices and the synagogue as a photography room.

[1][3] In 1913, the Sisters of Mercy then renamed the house "Loretto" and used it as a hostel for respectable Catholic girls coming from the country to work in Brisbane; the former synagogue being the maids' quarters.

[1][4] When the Brisbane City Council decided to build the Grey Street Bridge, it was necessary to resume the property to facilitate road widening.
