Gooloowan, Heritage villa in Ipswich, Australia

The two-story brick mansion at 43 Quarry Street features verandahs on both levels, supported by timber posts and decorated with cast-iron balustrading.

Benjamin Cribb, an English immigrant who established London Stores in Ipswich, commissioned architect Charles Balding to construct Gooloowan in 1864.

The property includes a formal dining room, library with cedar panels, nine bedrooms, and rare original bathrooms reflecting 19th-century upper-class living standards.

The circular driveway leads to the entrance of this Queensland Heritage Register property, which maintains its original layout and architectural elements.

The mansion contains an uncommon hand-operated lift system and imported Italian marble mantelpieces that demonstrate the wealth of early Queensland merchants.
