Bankfoot House, Heritage-listed pioneer homestead in Glass House Mountains, Queensland, Australia
The historic residence features weatherboard cladding, corrugated iron roof, and a central corridor layout with multiple bedrooms along its length.
William and Mary Grigor constructed Bankfoot House in 1878 as a coach stop on the Brisbane-to-Gympie route, serving travelers until the early 1900s.
The property represents early European settlement patterns through its architecture, location, and numerous artifacts preserved from the original Grigor family.
Visitors can explore the heritage site Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 3 PM, with free admission and guided tours available.
The residence functioned as the sole remaining coach change station on the Cobb and Co route, while also operating as a post office from 1868 to 1907.
