context_page_description: Andrew Lang Petrie was a monumental mason and politician in Queensland, Australia. He was a Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.
context_section_description: In 1882, Andrew Lang Petrie took over the management of the family business from his father John Petrie; the business was renamed 'John Petrie & Son'. At that time, the business included cabinet making and joinery, brick-making, Tile-making and monumental masonry. He relocated the business from its location on the corner of Queen Street and Wharf Street to a location alongside the gates of Toowong Cemetery (the site is occupied in 2009 by Mitsubishi Motors).
  Due to the depression, the business experienced financial difficulties and insolvency proceedings commenced in early 1894. The business was eventually revived but focussed solely on monumental masonry.
