Ozanam House, Heritage-listed house in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia

Ozanam House is a single-storeyed timber house at 66 Roderick Street, Ipswich, set on a northerly sloping site opposite Baines Park. It has timber stumps, a hipped corrugated iron roof with cast iron ridge cresting and paired timber eave brackets, and verandahs on all sides, with the southeast corner enclosed and a kitchen wing at the rear southwest.

The land passed to Richard Davies Graham in 1885, and two mortgages taken out in June 1886 point to the house being built around that year. Graham, who practised as an architect, civil engineer and surveyor, was probably its designer. The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul bought the property in 1960 and named it after its founder, Frederic Ozanam.

The house is named after Frederic Ozanam, who founded the Conference of Charity in Paris in 1833 with companions at the University of Paris; it became the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul two years later. The Queensland branch began at Saint Brigid's Parish, Red Hill, on 18 February 1894, after the 1893 Brisbane flood. The Society uses the house for meetings, conferences and food storage and preparation.

The building sits on Roderick Street in an established residential neighborhood, with the surrounding verandahs offering good orientation points. Visitors should expect that not all areas are publicly accessible since the property continues to operate as an active community space.

The cast iron ridge cresting and paired timber eave brackets on the roof are original details worth spotting from Roderick Street. The front row of square stumps and the curved timber valance on the verandahs appear to date from later work, possibly the 1905 verandah alterations under Samuel Piper.
