Bryntirion, Historic site in Queensland, Australia.

Bryntirion is a chamferboard house on a stone foundation with a corrugated iron roof, built in 1861 at 287 Wickham Terrace. Its front facade, altered around 1900, has a projecting gable-roofed room, a classically detailed entry porch and a rotunda with an ogee-profiled cupola. The stone base holds the original kitchen with its cast-iron range, and the rear wing retains the original laundry with zinc tubs.

Bryntirion was built in 1861 for Edward Barton Southerden, a Queen Street draper and later first Mayor of Sandgate, to a design by James Furnival; Richard Gailey designed an 1876 extension. Richard Edwards, a drapery partner and Telegraph director, bought it in 1882, gave it its Welsh name, and in 1896 demolished neighbouring Athol Cottage to create the garden. He died in the house on 29 October 1915.

The house takes its Welsh name from Richard Edwards, who bought it in 1882 and lived there until his death in the house on 29 October 1915. A drapery partner and thirty-year director of the Telegraph newspapers, he was the first member for Oxley in the federal House of Representatives from 1901 to 1913. His grandchildren later occupied the house, which also served as a doctor's surgery.

Bryntirion is a private family home and doctor's surgery, not open for public tours; the sources record no visitor access. It stands on its eastern alignment at 287 Wickham Terrace, with the garden to the north, south and west. From the street the house is seen only through formally arranged exotic and native trees, so the front facade, entry porch and ogee-cupola rotunda are best viewed from the footpath.

The stone base marks the footprint of the original 1861 house, and the ground floor room it forms at the rear was once the kitchen; its original cast-iron range still stands in the fireplace. The rear wing's stone base holds the original laundry with zinc tubs, and a timber structure beyond it was built as stables and servants' accommodation.
