2013 John Oxley Library Community History Award recipient
The John Oxley Library Community History Award was presented this year to Brisbane Open House for encouraging Queensland's residents and tourists to engage actively with Brisbane's history through architecture.
Now in its fourth year, Brisbane Open House has unlocked more than 50 of Brisbane's architecturally significant buildings to the public for guided tours and self-exploration, and hopes to add another 20 buildings to the mix.
This annual event is part of the Open House Worldwide family.
