Garowie, Heritage-listed villa in Eastern Heights, Queensland, Australia.

Garowie is a two-storey residence on the western side of Whitehill Road, facing east, with a cement-rendered brick core surrounded by verandahs on both levels. The lower verandah has paired support columns and no balustrades, with a scalloped fringe of timber battens beneath the upper balustrades; the upper level carries intricate cast iron lace. A corrugated iron hipped roof tops the house, and a central gabled portico with a fretwork pediment marks the entry.

Samuel Shenton designed this residence in 1888 for James Clarke Cribb, whose father Benjamin had founded the notable Cribb and Foote business partnership. The building thus connects to an important local family of 19th-century merchants.

The residence shows how wealthy families in late 19th-century Ipswich chose to build and decorate their homes, with grand Victorian rooms and ornate ironwork on every level. The design reflects the tastes and prosperity of the upper class at that time.

The property sits on Whitehill Road with its original stone fence and mature trees providing natural screening from the street. The existing vegetation helps visitors experience the home within its historic setting.

Garowie is said to mean "Fig Tree Camp" in an Aboriginal language, and several very large Moreton Bay fig trees still stand on the original property. The house was originally brick and was rendered only after 1919.
