Bulimba House, Heritage-listed residence in Bulimba, Queensland, Australia.
The two-story sandstone house features steep gables, terracotta tiles, and deep verandahs overlooking the Brisbane River from its elevated position.
David McConnel, a successful pastoralist, commissioned architect Andrew Petrie to construct this Tudor-style homestead between 1849 and 1850 as part of an experimental farm.
The property's name changed from Toogoolawah to Bulimba in 1852, reflecting the Aboriginal term for the magpie lark native to the area.
Located at 34 Kenbury Street, the property includes mature gardens, a circular driveway, and multiple outbuildings from its original farming operations.
The residence stands as the first masonry Tudor-style homestead in Brisbane, constructed with local sandstone and Moreton Bay cedar by Scottish craftsmen.
