Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Creator: Unidentified

Location: Brisbane, Queensland
Description: Overells Pty. Ltd. was established in 1883 in premises situated in Ann Street, Fortitude Valley, by William James Overell. In the early 1890s the business was shifted to Brunswick Street, the frontage in Wickham Street being acquired some years later. On the 10th February 1904 a disastrous fire destroyed the entire premises and stock. The loss resulting from the fire was in the vicinity of £25 000. A fresh start was made and the company rose triumphantly from the ashes. (Information taken from: Fortitude Valley Centenary 1849-1949, 1949).
