The City Tabernacle Baptist Church was erected in 1890.  At the time the rear portion of the property was used for the building of a Manse.  In those days the city development was small and green hills with open fields skirted the whole area.  The Church and the Manse presented a stately sight to those who looked towards the skyline of Brisbane.

As the city expanded, the Manse was considered to be too near to the church and it became necessary to move the manse out of the inner city.  In 1916, the old Manse was sold and it became an accommodation house known as “Willara House”.
