Lamb House, Kangaroo Point, Heritage-listed villa in Kangaroo Point, Australia

Lamb House is a two-storey red brick villa at 9 Leopard Street, Kangaroo Point, designed by Alexander Brown Wilson and built c. 1901 by W Anthony for £3,250. Its white-painted walls carry a red terracotta tiled roof with a front gable of white slatted infill, two tall columns framing the balcony, a square tower with hipped roof on the left, and two brick chimneys. Ceilings reach 4 m on the ground floor and 3.65 m above.

John Lamb, co-proprietor of the Queen Street drapery Edwards & Lamb, had Lamb House built c. 1901 by builder W Anthony for £3,250 to Alexander Brown Wilson's design. The Lamb family owned it for over a century; by 2020 it stood unoccupied and dilapidated, and in June 2021 Steve and Jane Wilson bought it and spent three years and $15 million on its restoration.

The residence reflects how Brisbane's middle class lived and valued their homes in the early 1900s, choosing an elevated position with river views. The ornate details show what homeowners of that era considered beautiful and worth displaying.

The residence sits on a slope with good views across Brisbane and the surrounding area from its elevated position. The location is relatively accessible and allows visitors to appreciate the architectural details from the street and surrounding grounds.

The property fell into decline over the decades before being purchased by new owners in 2021 who began extensive restoration work. Their efforts have aimed to recover the original architectural elements and bring the house back to its earlier condition.
