Old Government House, Official residence in Brisbane, Australia.
The two-story Neoclassical structure features symmetrical proportions, a grand entrance portico, and high ceilings throughout its formal reception rooms and living spaces.
Built in 1862 under architect Charles Tiffin's direction, this building served as the residence for Queensland's first eleven governors until 1909.
The residence maintains its original furniture collection and displays artifacts that document the early development of Queensland's government administration.
The building opens daily from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with guided tours explaining the architectural features and historical significance of each room.
The residence contains the original 1862 cedar joinery and marble fireplaces, which remain intact despite multiple renovations over 150 years.
