I mean to say, who put a horse and cart in a garage? So why would you build a garage in those early days? There are many different nationalities living in the area and this is brought about by the university and its overseas students and also the fact that migrant workers can walk into the city for employment.
Beautiful old trees line the streets and are plentiful in the parks which makes this area very attractive from that point of view. Back Queensland Brisbane Kelvin Grove. Not great for No ratings yet.

By the early s there were stores interspersed with houses along Kelvin Grove Road as residential subdivisions pressed outwards with the filling up of Petrie Terrace and Red Hill. The local school called for the building of a railway through the suburb and on to Samford, but a tram line was instead opened, running from the city along Roma and Countess Streets.
When Fernberg was instead purchased, the land was reserved for a university. The Mayne family's gift of land at St Lucia cancelled that reservation, and the site was used for a teacher training college There had previously been a kindergarten training college on the other side of Victoria Park Road.
Further south there were a Defence Force parade ground and drill hall , sports ovals, the Lady Musgrave Home and aged persons facilities. Away from these public uses Kelvin Grove developed a landscape of Queenslander houses, most of them within half a kilometre of the tramline.
Those further away were closer to Ballymore Park. Kelvin Grove Road had shops and a picture theatre There were a couple of tanneries down Bishop Street near the creek, and the area is still industrial. In Kelvin Grove high school was opened next to the teacher training college. Its student residences are on the Queensland heritage register. The college became a college of advanced education and then a campus of QUT , spilling over Victoria Park Road to the site of the former kindergarten training school.
The Defence parade ground expanded to become Gona Barracks, which in were surrendered and merged into a 16 ha site jointly developed by QUT and the Housing Commission variously dubbed 'urban village' and 'creative industries precinct'. Numerous outbuildings and facilities are listed on the Queensland heritage register.
