Claremont, Ipswich, Heritage building in Ipswich, Australia.

Claremont is a single-storey Georgian-style stone villa at 1A Milford Street, facing the Bremer River to the north. It has a U-shaped plan with wings of unequal length, and French doors open onto verandahs that extend around the sides. The design resembles earlier houses in Sydney and Tasmania and is rare in Queensland.

Claremont was designed in 1857 by William Claydon Wakefield for merchant John Panton on the site of Limestone Station, where convicts quarried limestone from 1827. Financial trouble forced Panton to sell in 1862 to George Thorn, whose son George Thorn Jr. was Queensland premier while living there. The Thorns kept it until 1906; the National Trust bought it in 1975.

Claremont takes its name from the Panton family's first villa; when they built a second house at 5 Blackall Street, East Ipswich in 1865, they also called it Claremont. Under George Thorn senior and his son George Thorn junior, Premier of Queensland from 1876 to 1877, the house served for years as a social and political centre in Ipswich.

The building can be viewed from the street and is easy to locate in the city. More information about the heritage site and its features is available through local archives and guides.

The grounds were once Limestone Station, where convicts quarried limestone from 1827; the lime kiln's remains stayed visible until the 1960s and their location beside the house is marked. Stone blocks from the kiln or demolished sections were reused in the 1960s to build garden terraces.
