Palma Rosa, Heritage residence in Hamilton, Queensland, Australia.

Palma Rosa stands as a three-level sandstone house at 9 Queens Road, featuring generous room proportions, elaborate joinery, and decorative cornices throughout the structure.

Built in 1887 during Queensland's economic boom, the residence was designed by architect Andrea Stombuco and constructed using stone from Petrie's Quarry by several local contractors.

The English Speaking Union established their club rooms at Palma Rosa in 1972, promoting English language communication through educational and social activities.

Visitors can access detailed information about Palma Rosa through the Queensland Heritage Register website, which provides historical documentation and architectural specifications.

During World War II, United States military personnel occupied the residence from 1942 to 1945, adding a military chapter to its varied historical timeline.
