Wilston House, Heritage villa in Newmarket, Brisbane, Australia.
The brick Georgian residence at 47 Watson Street features wide verandahs, cedar details, and slate materials throughout its single-story construction.
William Wilson, a mercantile broker and Queensland Legislative Council member, commissioned architect James Cowlishaw to build this residence between 1876 and 1880.
The property represents the lifestyle of middle-class families who established semi-rural retreats between Enoggera Creek and Kedron Brook during the 1870s.
The hilltop location provides visitors access to original architectural features, including the entrance hall, drawing rooms, and dining areas from the Victorian era.
Early agricultural experiments in freezing mutton for export to Britain were conducted at this residence during James Tolson's occupancy in the 1880s.
