Edward Brown Staircases

Edward Brown Staircases began manufacturing in the late 1960s. The aim of the business was to produce top quality curved timber staircases for the larger homes that were being built after the post war boom in low cost housing started to decline. Edwards father, George, was a building contractor with a small joinery works. In the post war housing boom he and the family developed a large prefabricated housing business. Edward Brown was apprenticed to his father in 1939 and after the post war boom in housing eased they reverted to building contracting. When his father retired Edward continued building on his own. In the late 1960s some of his clients asked him to incorporate more quality features in their houses such as geometrical staircases. This led to the establishment of Edward Brown Staircases Pty Ltd.
