Publication Title:
Kelvin Grove, a residential and educational suburb, is three km north-west of central Brisbane. It was named after the house built by Dr Joseph Bancroft in 1864 near Enoggera Creek, at the suburb's northern boundary. 'Kelvin Grove' was also used as a hotel and pleasure garden, and Bancroft named it after a Glasgow resort.
