Bardon House, Heritage-listed house in Bardon, Brisbane, Australia

Bardon House is a two-storeyed residence of uncoursed squared rubble with rough-faced sandstone quoining at corners, doors and windows. Its steeply pitched roof has intersecting gables, decorative fretwork bargeboards and louvred dormer windows; the L-shaped plan sets a main wing facing northeast and a service wing to the south.

Joshua Jeays, a carpenter, builder and Brisbane mayor in 1864–65, built Bardon House in 1864 of stone quarried at his Woogaroo quarry. His wife Sarah is thought to have named it after Bardon Hill in Leicestershire, where the family had lived; she died before it was finished. Jeays never lived there, and the house passed to his children. It left the Jeays and Lilley families in 1911 and was bought for the Catholic Archdiocese in 1925.

The first Mass at Bardon House was celebrated in 1925 by Monsignor Lee of Rosalie Parish, using a mantelpiece and table as the altar in the central room. From 19 January 1938 the Missionary Franciscan Sisters lived here to run St Joseph's School, opened on 24 January 1938 with 31 pupils.

Bardon House stands on a rise above The Drive, near its intersection with Cecil Road, inside the grounds of St Joseph's School; school buildings press against its north and northwest sides and a carpark lies to the east. It is not open to visitors, so the building is seen from the street and from the school frontage. The northeast elevation keeps its enclosed ground-floor verandah, and the southeast gable holds a large multi-paned leadlight sash window.

The first Mass in the parish was celebrated in Bardon House's central room in 1925, using the mantelpiece and a table as the altar. From 1938 the Missionary Franciscan Sisters ran St Joseph's school from the house, and an enclosed verandah was added as a classroom with funding from local MLA Edward Hanlon.
