Brickstone Residence, Heritage-listed residence in Ipswich, Australia.

The two-story brick building features a steep-pitched roof, dormer windows, and a separate kitchen structure on Murphy Street in Ipswich.

William Hancock, who arrived from England in 1856, constructed this substantial residence around 1864 as one of three houses along Murphy Street.

The residence demonstrates the architectural preferences and building techniques of Queensland's nineteenth-century industrial and commercial development period.

The building underwent renovations in the 1980s, restoring its High Victorian style features while maintaining the original structural elements.

The cellar and attic spaces within the residence represent construction methods from the 1860s Queensland building practices.
