Kitawah, Heritage residence in East Brisbane, Australia.
The timber villa features extensive verandahs, a massive hipped roof with Marseilles pattern terracotta tiles, and substantial timber posts with decorative screens.
Built in 1911 for Brisbane solicitor Llewellyn Stephens, the residence was designed by architect Robin Dods and underwent expansion between 1915 and 1919.
The residence displays architectural elements adapted to Queensland's subtropical climate, with interlocking rooms, arched fireplaces, and specialized spaces for entertainment.
The property, located at 59 Heath Street, maintains its original structural elements and remains accessible through official heritage documentation channels.
The house received multiple names throughout its existence, temporarily known as Wewak before reverting to Kitawah when Dr. James Hemsley acquired it in 1969.
