Broadhurst, Historic house in Sandgate, Australia

Broadhurst is a residential house in Sandgate built with architectural features typical of late 19th-century Queensland homes. The building displays multiple rooms and design elements characteristic of that style and period.

Built around 1900–1901 for Hugh McCall Hicks, general manager of Perkins and Co. Ltd, Broadhurst was sold to the Brisbane Hospital Committee in late 1901 for £1250 and opened as a convalescent home that December. It served that role until 1942, then became the Sandgate Home for maternal and child welfare in 1944. It was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 29 September 1997.

The house shows how affluent families once lived along Queensland's coast and what value they placed on their homes. The arrangement of rooms and furnishings reveal the daily habits and social customs of that period.

The house sits on Flinders Parade in Sandgate at an easy-to-reach location near the waterfront. The site is well accessible and clearly marked for visitors.

The house sits in a privileged neighborhood of Sandgate that historically attracted the wealthy seeking to escape urban life. This location tells much about the kind of people who originally built and lived in it.
