Glengariff, Hendra, Heritage-listed villa in Hendra, Australia

The two-story residence at 5 Derby Street features substantial verandahs, ornamental gables, and traditional timber details throughout its Victorian architectural design.

Edward Jones, a bank manager, commissioned architect Hubert George Octavius Thomas to construct this residence between 1888 and 1889 during Queensland's economic growth.

Thomas Charles Beirne, who acquired the property in 1898, transformed it into a center for social gatherings while establishing himself as a retail pioneer.

Located near Eagle Farm Racecourse, the property maintains its original characteristics despite numerous modifications, including the 1907 renovation by architect Robin Dods.

The residence decreased from its initial 5-acre grounds to accommodate urban development, yet preserves gardens dating to the Beirne family period.
