The site was originally home to the first Ipswich National School. The Ipswich Council granted land in 1850 and the first National School was established in Ipswich in 1861. The brick building opened in 1862 and the school later known as “Scott’s School” after John Scott, operated from this site for 35 years. It was condemned as a school building in 1898 and sometime after this Alexander Hugo Reinholt Prasser acquired the land. In 1924 he submitted plans for buildings to the City Engineer for a two-storey service station.
A. H. Prasser ran the service station and garage which was the first that existed between Brisbane and Toowoomba. On that same stretch of road in Brisbane Street there were three shops; Prasser’s service station, a French polisher, and between them was a tyre repair workshop owned by Percy Zupps. Prasser also drove a taxi and a mourning car for funerals. On the 10th of November 1926, the service station and Prasser’s house adjacent burnt down along with the other businesses in the area in what was considered one of the biggest fires in Ipswich. The cost of estimated damage was more than £5000. The businesses destroyed resumed trading soon after the fire and A. H. Prasser advertised business as usual on the same premises on the 27th of November 1926. In 1927, the Prassers rebuilt on their original house site, and it is believed at that time it was named “Suva House”. Mrs Conroy, Prasser’s daughter, believes the home was named after one of her father’s good friends who came from Suva. The building was designed by Mr. Prasser who also supervised the construction.
Tragedy struck again in 1974 when the businesses in Brisbane Street succumbed to flood waters and Alex H. Prasser had to be rescued from the second floor of the family business. Alex H. Prasser eventually sold his business to adjoining business holder and friend, Percy Zupps. Prasser Lane to the rear of the property is named after the Prasser family.

Peeling paint and weathered masonry around an arched doorway dated 1922. Stripping away color felt like the best way to let a century of texture speak for itself.
