Aberfoyle, Warwick

Aberfoyle is a single-story timber residence in Warwick featuring a central hallway, corrugated iron hipped roof, and decorated verandahs with scalloped timber lattice screens. The six-room house displays pressed metal ceilings and decorative leadlight windows throughout its interior spaces.

Local dentist Peter Alexander Affleck commissioned architect Hugh Hamilton Campbell to design this residence in 1910, with construction continuing until 1927. This extended building period reflects the craftsmanship standards of early Australian residential architecture.

The residence displays early 20th-century domestic tastes through pressed metal ceilings and decorative leadlight windows that shaped how people lived at that time. These ornamental details shape the interior character and reveal what mattered to residents of that era.

The house sits at the corner of Wood Street and Albion Street and undergoes ongoing conservation to maintain its original features. Visitors can observe the well-preserved timber structure and original details from outside and through accessible interior spaces.

Three large Camphor Laurel trees and terracotta tile pathways frame the property in green landscaping that feels integral to the house. An uncommon sunken bath remains in the original bathroom, showing how bathing spaces were designed differently in that era.
