Como, Yeronga, Heritage villa in Yeronga, Australia.

Como is a villa featuring steeply angled metal roofs, detailed wooden cladding, and decorated verandahs located on Kadumba Street in Yeronga. The building displays the architectural style typical of upper-class homes from that era.

Architect Alexander Brown Wilson designed the house between 1889 and 1890 for businessman James Walter Hayne. Its construction occurred when railways were transforming Yeronga into a wealthy suburb.

The house was renamed Barrogill by Donald and Elsie Rosie, after a castle in Scotland, when they bought it in 1954; they subdivided the land into five allotments in 1958. James Walter Hayne and his neighbour Adolph Feez reputedly kept the kennels for the Brisbane Hunt Club, active in Yeronga in the late 1880s and 1890s.

Como is a private residence at 88 Kadumba Street and is not open to visitors; it is seen from the street, where the single-storeyed timber house appears on the rise framed by large trees. The 1958 subdivision created five allotments, and a two-bedroom annex designed by Bligh Jessop Bretnall architects was added in 1968.

The house preserves rare timber details like diagonal cross-braces and trimmed boards with wavy edges that typify late Victorian craftsmanship. These hand-crafted elements are seldom seen on buildings from this period today.
