The southeast shop, which is larger than the other two, was built for South Brisbane grocers James and Thomas Heaslop and was a branch of their highly successful People's Cash Store.

This parcel (suburban portion 165, parish of South Brisbane) was alienated by James Gibbon in 1857, and was subdivided into commercial and residential allotments by the late 1870s.

In January 1886, title to a small, triangular parcel of land between Logan Road and Stanley Street East, at the Fiveways Corner (subs 1 & 2 of section 1 of suburban portion 165, containing 30 perches) was transferred to South Brisbane chemist and dentist Thomas Watson Thomason.

Within a few months, Thomason had subdivided this land into eight smaller commercial re-subdivisions, each with a frontage to both Logan Road and Stanley Street East.

This appears to refer to the large, three-storeyed brick building at 10–14 Logan Road, Woolloongabba which, when completed, dominated the Fiveways Junction.

Despite his varied architectural commissions and development interests, Nicholson was declared insolvent in 1891 as a result of the prevailing economic depression.

At this time, part of Heaslop's allotment was effectively made the property of Catherine Taylor, to accommodate the whole of the middle shop.

In October 1893, Catherine Taylor transferred her interest in the two northern shops to James Heaslop, who maintained these as rental propositions.

Branches of J & T Heaslop's People's Cash Store were opened in each of these centres, and their building at 10-14 Logan Road, Woolloongabba, dominated the Fiveways commercial district.

He was involved with the commissioning of the South Brisbane Municipal Chambers, paid the workmen on the site nearly £500 out of his own pocket when the contractor, Abraham James, absconded in 1891, and officiated at its formal opening on 1 July 1892.

His term as mayor also encompassed the great floods of 1893, which decimated large sections of South Brisbane, West End and Woolloongabba.

Thomas died in 1911, but his Company continued to operate a branch of the People's Cash Store from James Heaslop's Woolloongabba Fiveways building until the early 1920s.

In February 1888 he had established a drapery business next door at 8 Logan Road, in premises owned by AR McLeod.

[1] In the 1920s, Woolloongabba flourished as a shopping centre, servicing the rapidly expanding eastern and southern suburbs of Balmoral, Hawthorne, East Brisbane, Coorparoo, Stone's Corner, Greenslopes, Holland Park and Annerley, all of which had electric tram access to North and South Brisbane via the Woolloongabba Fiveways.

[1] In terms of height and street presence, the only building to rival Mrs Heaslop's building at the Woolloongabba Fiveways was the Broadway Theatre, a three-storey high brick picture theatre fronting Ipswich Road, just past the intersection with Logan Road, erected in 1923 but destroyed by fire in June 1962.

In the midst of the depression of the early 1930s, Mrs Heaslop found it difficult to attract tenants for the Woolloongabba premises following Reid's departure.

The northern end of Logan Road, where the former Taylor–Heaslop Building is located, is no longer directly accessible from the Fiveways Junction.

However, in the last two decades of the 20th century, this section of Logan Road, which is now virtually a cul-de-sac, was rejuvenated as an antiques, secondhand goods, and gallery precinct.

Now blocked off from Stanley and Main Streets, this part of Logan Road retains many 19th and early 20th century buildings.

[1] Situated in the middle of a truncated block formed by the convergence of Logan Road and Stanley Street East, the former Taylor–Heaslop Building is built to the property alignments and fully occupies several parcels of land.

It is the tallest building in the predominantly two-storey streetscape and consists of a basement, shops at street level and two upper storeys, now mostly used as offices.

14 Logan Road is bigger than the other two shops, having a wider frontage and a greater depth of plan due to the truncated shape of the site.

[1] The masonry street facades are finished with render and paint and decorated with a variety of ornament in a predominantly classical style.

[1] The curved corrugated iron awnings over the footpath and the parapet with frieze and cornice supported on modillions are continuous elements across the street facades.

[1] The facade of 14 Logan Road, designed without a verandah, is in a more ornate eclectic style with swirling plant motifs in panels breaking up the expanse of wall.

On Logan Road the street level shop fronts retain their c. 1920s remodeling, with leadlights above plate glass display windows and recessed doorways.

The stairs to the upper levels of 10 and 12 Logan Road retain or have had reinstated the original turned timber balustrade.

The glazed entry vestibule and display window which fronts Stanley Street is built at a lower level to the main floor and has very tall ceilings.

The upper levels consist of two floors of office space, divided into smaller rooms arranged around the central stair and light well.

It is an integral part of the townscape of a distinctive locality and remains a key element in establishing the character of the Fiveways Junction, especially the northern end of Logan Road.
