Why go

The house preserves a domestic setting that contrasts with central civic buildings. Its veranda and riverside position help explain why this site mattered in early Brisbane, while the rooms give a closer sense of home life. The visit is strongest when you give both the interior and surrounding grounds time, rather than seeing only the facade.
