Architect Arthur Bligh (now Bligh Voller Neild Architects) was commissioned by the current owner's parents in the mid 1930's to design an adventurous departure from the traditional timber aesthetic. Taking inspiration from the Spanish revival style, 50 Stephen Street was at the forefront of affordable architectural innovation, providing features and design elements not previously seen in suburban Brisbane.
