Photograph of High Street, Toowong, looking southwest from the intersection with Sherwood Road, with St. Thomas Church of England, erected in 1877, in the distance. M. Carver, draper (on the right), was established in High Street around 1884 and continued in business until around 1951. F. W. Simmonds, chemist (on the left), was in business in High Street from around 1891 to around 1923. The photograph may be approximately dated by the fact that J. Cameron's bakery (on the left) only operated in High Street from 1917 to 1918.
