context_page_description: Auchenflower is an inner suburb of the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
context_section_description: The area was formerly populated by rural estates, one of which was named 'Auchenflower' by Thomas McIlwraith circa 1880.
  Between 1900 and 1962 Auchenflower was served by trams running along Milton Road from Toowong.  The services were withdrawn after the disastrous Paddington tram depot fire.
  In 1975, the first NightOwl convenience store was opened in the suburb.
  St Alban the Martyr Anglican Church was dedicated by Archbishop Gerald Sharp on 18 November 1923. In 1954 the foundation stone for a new church building was laid by Archbishop Philip Strong. The church's deconsecration and closure in 2015 was approved by Local Bishop Godfrey Fryar. The site is being redeveloped for residential apartments.
  In January 2011, Auchenflower experienced flooding as part of the 2010–11 Queensland floods.
