St John's Wood House, Ashgrove, Heritage listed villa in Ashgrove, Australia.
The single-story residence with U-shaped design features walls constructed from local Enoggera granite and stands at 31 Piddington Street in Brisbane.
Daniel Rowntree Somerset, who arrived from Northern Ireland in 1850, commissioned the construction of this residence after acquiring 21 hectares of land in 1864.
The property served as a social center during the Harding family residence, with the addition of a ballroom to accommodate gatherings of Brisbane's notable citizens.
The property underwent multiple restoration phases to maintain its architectural elements, including the original timber posts, pressed metal ceilings, and period-specific flooring.
The estate gave its name to the surrounding neighborhood of St John's Wood and represents the first major house constructed in this section of Brisbane.
