2813 Ipswich Road in Darra is not officially an address anymore — just a patch of grass beside the busy Ipswich Motorway in Brisbane's south-west.

But delve into the State Library of Queensland's (SLQ) Corley Explorer website and you'll discover that in the 1960s it was the site of a cherished family home, built after work and on weekends by English immigrant George Brown for his wife Margaret and their daughters.

Mr Brown made the bricks, built the walls, the floors and did all the carpentry, electrical and plumbing work.

It is just one of the stories sparked by a single black-and-white picture, taken by the late photographic duo Frank and Eunice Corley more than 50 years ago.
