Farrington House, Alderley, Heritage building in Alderley, Australia.

Farrington House stands on a hilltop at 39 David Street, featuring a single-story timber structure with verandahs and dormer windows throughout its design.

Frederick Waters Wilson, owner of the first steam biscuit factory in Queensland, constructed this Victorian Carpenter Gothic residence between 1882 and 1890.

The house displays the evolution of Queensland residential life through its preserved marble chimney, high skirting boards, and elaborate internal timber decorations.

The property underwent modernization in the early 1900s with the installation of electrical systems and telephone connections, replacing previous kerosene lighting.

The residence transformed from a 13-acre farming estate to a two-acre property, later serving as an elderly care facility under the name Clifford House.
