Weetwood, Toowoomba, Heritage-listed Georgian villa in Newtown, Toowoomba, Australia.
The residence at 427 Tor Street features a U-shaped main roof, curved verandah, detailed timberwork, and ornate brick facades designed by architect James Marks.
Richard William Scholefield commissioned the construction of Weetwood in 1888 on land that was originally part of an allotment acquired by James Taylor in 1862.
The property demonstrates the architectural preferences and social aspirations of successful merchants in regional Queensland during the late nineteenth century colonial period.
The building contains six rooms arranged along a central hallway with preserved historical details and maintains substantial grounds near Clifford Park Racecourse.
The McAllister Family acquired the property in 2020 and initiated restoration projects to enhance the gardens while preserving the original architectural elements.
