This two storey, rendered brick shop/dwelling was built circa 1901 for Herbert Hill, a Brisbane saddler. Herbert Hill, born in the 1850s, was the son of John Bignell Hill, a saddler who established the first saddlery business on Queen Street during the early years of free settlement. In 1890, Herbert Hill acquired 36 perches of land along Lutwyche Road (formerly Bowen Bridge Road) between Harris and Thorne Streets in the burgeoning suburb of Windsor.

Mr. Herbert Hill lived here with his wife, Mrs. Charlotte Christina Hill (nee Tait), and their children: Miss Alice May Hill, Mr. Herbert Arthur Hill, Miss Ruby Violet Hill, Master Bertie Anderson Hill, Miss Daisy Eveline Hill, Miss Ida Catherwood Hill, and Miss Ivy Lillian Hill.

On the evening of Tuesday, August 27th, 1901, Mr. Herbert Hill attended a public meeting held at the Windsor Council Chambers regarding the establishment of the Windsor Volunteer Fire Brigade. He would later becoming a founding member and Superintendent.

By 1909, Herbert Hill had moved to Nambour where he opened the Herbert Hill & Son Nambour Saddlery Deport with his sons Mr. Herbert Arthur Hill and Mr. Bertie Anderson Hill.

The absence of an occupant in 1911 suggests that the site remained unutilised. However, by 1912, Mr. Samuel Snell had taken up residence here, although he wasn’t yet operating a business. Later that year, he established refreshment rooms, and according to the 1913 Electoral Roll, Mr. Snell was also a fruiterer. He resided here with his wife, Mrs. Florence Annie Snell. Around 1914, the refreshment rooms changed ownership, now managed by Mr. Leonard Beilby. By at least late 1916, Mr. Alf. A. Taylor operated a store from this location. However, by late 1917, Mrs. Ada Maria Rissbrook (nee Kruger), wife of Mr. Henry Louis Rissbrook, took over the establishment. Their tenure appears to have been brief, as Mrs. Mary Henderson assumed ownership by late 1918.

In the latter part of 1920, Mr. Benjamin Fish assumed ownership of the site and established a retail outlet known as ‘The Stores.’ The precise nature of this establishment remains uncertain; however, according to the 1922 Electoral Roll, Mr. Fish was listed as a carpenter. He resided here with his wife, Mrs. Ann Jane Fish (nee Finch), and their five-year-old son, Master John Fish. It appears that Mr. Fish was not merely a lessee but the outright owner of the property.

By 1923, the owners leased the building out to a number of different tenants. By August 1928 as the tenant Mr. John Craig was listed as residing in Murarrie when he sued the building owner, Mr. Benjamin Fish and his wife Mrs. Annie Fish over a breach of the lease. He sought £100 in damages while the landlords lodged a counter claim for £15 10s, with the court awarding him £60 6s 8d and £9 10s for the counter claim, resulting in £50 16s 8d for Mr. John Craig.

In this time, the building was officially registered as a Gospel Hall meeting place. A small gospel hall in Windsor during 1935-1945 would have been a vital spiritual and social hub, deeply rooted in Christian faith and community support, reflecting the era's values and challenges. Given the limited venues available during that time, especially in smaller or suburban communities like Windsor, the gospel hall would have been a central hub for various social and cultural activities such as weddings and various other events, serving as a vital community centre.

Interestingly - A newspaper clipping suggests that during World War II, the upper residence of Windsor House operated as a brothel!

The Gospel Hall returned to various commercial uses and during the 1950s, was converted to tenement flats.

The freehold to the site was sold on September 8th 1980 for $75,000 which was then used as a Veterinary Clinic according the Local Heritage Register.

The estate became marketed as Windsor House Studio and later was occupied by a wedding and commercial photographer called Studio Con Brio. It has also been the home of a Migration Agency.

Today, Brisbane Windsor House speak of a bygone era of elegant heritage and old world charm. The citizens of Brisbane have flocked to the estate to enjoy ticketed events, private celebrations, exclusive dining and other enchanting experiences and is occupied by Posy&Stone as a wedding event space and Enchanted Enterprises as a boutique children's event space.
