Description

Mater Prize Home No.22 | Heritage Places

Mater Prize Home No.22 at Tarragindi was built in 1964 as part of the Mater Prize Home Art Union. The art union began in 1954 to raise funds for the Mater Misericordiae Hospital operated by the Sisters of Mercy Order which opened in 1960. Architect John Dawson and builder Les Smith designed and built 100 prize homes between 1960-1975. The homes became showcases for modern domestic design and facilities and shaped the aspirations of generations of Brisbane residents.
