The history of the “ANZAC COTTAGE”.

42 Burlington Street was built in 1917-20 under the Anzac Cottage Scheme, an initiative of the Queensland War Council under the sub-committee named the Anzac Cottage Trust. It is one of two surviving examples of Anzac cottages built in the street. The directive of the Anzac Cottage Scheme was to establish homes for widows and their dependants of enlisted men killed in the First World War. The construction of the homes was funded by the Queensland Lottery, ‘Golden Casket’ and were built using volunteer labour. Only thirty-eight Anzac Cottages were built in Brisbane, many of which no longer survive. 42 Burlington Street is important as a rare surviving example of an Anzac Cottage in Brisbane.
