{"title":"Perkins Wine and Spirits Store: Brisbane CBD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Perkins wine and spirits store in Brisbane was closely linked to the growth of the city’s brewing and liquor industry in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The business originated with Perkins \u0026amp; Co., whose founders expanded into Brisbane in 1872 after acquiring the City Brewery in Mary Street, building a large and influential brewing operation that dominated the surrounding area by the 1880s. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/onesearch.slq.qld.gov.au\/discovery\/fulldisplay\/alma99183512790202061\/61SLQ_INST:SLQ\"\u003e1\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/138_Mary_Street,_Brisbane\"\u003e2\u003c\/a\u003e As the company grew, it diversified into the wholesale and storage of alcoholic products, leading to the construction of a dedicated Perkins Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Store at 138 Mary Street around 1901. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/138_Mary_Street,_Brisbane\"\u003e2\u003c\/a\u003e This purpose-built storehouse functioned as part of a broader industrial complex, supporting the distribution of wine and spirits alongside the brewery’s production activities. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/138_Mary_Street,_Brisbane\"\u003e2\u003c\/a\u003e The expansion reflected Brisbane’s increasing demand for imported and locally produced liquor, as well as the city’s role as a commercial hub. In 1928, the Perkins business merged with another major brewing firm to form Castlemaine Perkins Ltd, after which operations were gradually relocated to Milton, marking the decline of the inner-city warehouse’s original function. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/138_Mary_Street,_Brisbane\"\u003e2\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Castlemaine_Perkins\"\u003e3\u003c\/a\u003e Today, the former Perkins wine and spirits store remains a heritage-listed building, representing an important phase in Brisbane’s commercial and industrial history and illustrating the evolution of the city’s alcohol trade from small-scale brewing to large corporate enterprises. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/138_Mary_Street,_Brisbane\"\u003e2\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReferences:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/138_Mary_Street,_Brisbane\"\u003e138 Mary Street, Brisbane – Wikipedia\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.treasurybrisbane.com.au\/about-us\"\u003e1\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Castlemaine_Perkins\"\u003eCastlemaine Perkins – Wikipedia\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/unrealaustralia.com\/index.php\/explore\/australia\/queensland\/gsa-treasury-building-first-wing\"\u003e2\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/onesearch.slq.qld.gov.au\/discovery\/fulldisplay\/alma99183512790202061\/61SLQ_INST:SLQ\"\u003eCity Brewery, owned by Perkins \u0026amp; Co., Brisbane (State Library of Queensland)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mustdobrisbane.com\/visitors-arts-culture-history\/treasury-building-cbd\"\u003e3\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"brisbane-cbd-perkins-wine-spirits-store-art-print","title":"Brisbane CBD: Perkins Wine \u0026 Spirits Store Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrisbane CBD: Perkins Wines \u0026amp; Spirits Store 1901\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRefer to the ICON collection menu for further information about this iconic building. . \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRINT DETAILS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePicton Studio art prints are outsourced to a professional printing company and are professionally printed on museum quality, thick and long lasting paper.
