Miegunyah, Heritage-listed historic site in Bowen Hills, Queensland, Australia.

Miegunyah is a single-storeyed timber house built around 1885 at 35 Jordan Terrace, Bowen Hills. A verandah with cast-iron balusters, wide filigree posts and valances surrounds it, and bay windows at the front stop below the hipped corrugated iron roof. Entry is through a projecting gabled portico with a fretwork pediment; the highset front rests on brick piers with honeycomb brick infill, and the stairs and portico base are solid masonry with arches and keystones.

William Perry acquired the land in 1875, and the house was built around 1885 for his sons Herbert and George during the area's early development. The structure was later taken over and converted into a historical site by the Queensland Women's Historical Association.

The Queensland Women's Historical Association, which saved the house from demolition and acquired it by 1967, runs it as a late 19th-century period house museum. Its stated focus is the pioneer women of Queensland, and the interior has been partly returned to its original layout and colour scheme.

Miegunyah stands at 35 Jordan Terrace in Bowen Hills, on a sloping site; the house is highset at the front, reached by masonry stairs through the gabled portico, with the timber stables at the rear. The interior has been partly returned to its original layout and colour scheme, so some rooms reflect the late 19th century while others hold the association's displays.

The original timber stables on the grounds retain their authentic exterior form while the interior has been modified for caretaker use. This conversion reveals how the property adapted to new purposes over time.
