Ascot House, Historical residence in Newtown, Toowoomba, Australia.
The large timber villa features a single-story main residence connected to a two-story extension with decorative cast-iron capitals and verandahs on three sides.
Frederick Hurrell Holberton, a local merchant and Legislative Council member, established the residence on 32 acres near Toowoomba racecourse during the 1870s.
The architectural design combines neo-classical and Gothic elements, demonstrating the grand residential preferences of Queensland's upper class during the late 19th century.
Located at 15 Newmarket Street, the property now functions as a museum and tea room, allowing visitors to explore the heritage-listed structure.
The property includes a distinctive architectural extension known as Beit's Folly, added in the 1890s by William Beit Jr with intricately modeled facades.
