Hughesville, Eight Mile Plains, Heritage residence at Eight Mile Plains, Australia.

Hughesville is a single-storeyed timber-framed house clad in broad chamferboards and lined with double beaded tongue-and-groove boards, standing on short wooden stumps. Wide beech verandahs encircle the core, with slender cast-iron Corinthian columns tripled at the corners and cast-iron balustrading. The pyramid roof has a widow's walk with cast-iron cresting and corner finials.

Richard Hughes purchased land in the area in 1892 and built the house at the intersection of Logan and Padstow Roads. Its construction reflects the building style of the 1890s and shows typical features of the late colonial period.

The residence reflects how affluent families in Queensland lived during the late 1800s, with its design showing the comfort and craft traditions of that era. Wide verandahs and local cedar woodwork demonstrate the building standards that wealthy households expected.

The house sits on Logan Road in the Eight Mile Plains area and now functions as office space following its restoration. Access and visiting times depend on its current use as a private building.

Hughesville appeared in a XXXX beer television commercial, and its roof carries a widow's walk with cast-iron cresting and corner finials. Less than one hectare of the original 8-hectare property remains; the two stables, buggy shed and harness room are gone.
