Harlaxton House, Heritage villa at Munro Street, Harlaxton, Australia.
The stone residence features a Georgian architectural style with red laterite stone walls, cedar joinery, and multiple original fireplaces throughout the structure.
Francis Thomas Gregory, an explorer and botanist, constructed this residence between 1869 and 1870, establishing it as one of the first substantial villas in Toowoomba.
The property served as a summer residence for several Queensland governors, including Lord Lamington, reflecting the social status of the Darling Downs region.
The single-story building stands on elevated terrain overlooking Toowoomba Range, with extensive grounds containing mature trees from the original landscape design.
The house incorporates locally quarried red laterite stone in its construction, making it a rare example of this building material usage in Queensland architecture.
