Milton House, Milton, Heritage listed site in Milton, Australia

Milton House is a villa at 50 McDougall Street, Milton, built in 1852 or 1853 for chemist Ambrose Eldridge and later enlarged by pastoralist John Frederick McDougall. It was the first substantial house in the area and appears in early views of Brisbane. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.

Milton House was built in 1852 or 1853 for Ambrose Eldridge, a retired Queen Street chemist who grew Sea Island cotton on his Milton Farm. Pastoralist John Frederick McDougall bought the estate in January 1856 for £2,300 and enlarged the house considerably. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.

The house gave its name to the suburb of Milton, while neighbouring Rosalie took its name from John Frederick McDougall's Darling Downs property, a reminder of the extent of his western-suburbs holdings. From 1864 the McDougalls lived at Rosalie Station and let Milton House to tenants including Arthur Manning, Colonial Under-Secretary, and Henry Walsh, speaker of the Legislative Assembly.

Milton House stands at 50 McDougall Street in Milton, City of Brisbane, on the site of Eldridge's former Milton Farm. The villa is a private heritage-listed property, so visitors view it from the street; the surrounding suburban streets can be walked at any time.

Milton House gave its name to the suburb of Milton, while neighbouring Rosalie was named after John Frederick McDougall's Darling Downs property, a sign of how far his western-suburbs holdings once reached. McDougall, a member of Queensland's first Legislative Council, enlarged the house considerably after buying the estate in January 1856 for £2,300.
