The decision to demolish the home comes after years of legal wrangling over its future. Developers argue that the site is ripe for modern redevelopment, while local activists have campaigned to preserve its historical significance.
Community Reaction
Residents in Bulimba are divided over the move. Some see it as progress, while others lament the loss of another piece of the suburb's architectural heritage. "It's a shame to see such a beautiful home go," said one long-time resident.
What Comes Next?
