Tara House, Victorian architectural heritage site in Brisbane, Australia
The two-story brick building at 179 Elizabeth Street features classical details, an arcade with semi-circular arches, and ornate pilasters throughout its facade.
James Hunter purchased the land in 1877 for £2250, leading to the construction of two stores designed by architect Richard Gailey by 1879.
The Queensland Irish Association acquired the building in 1919, transforming it into a central meeting point for the Irish community in Brisbane.
The structure maintains its original elements from 1927 renovations, including detailed leadlight panels depicting Irish provinces and Queensland coat of arms.
The building's ceiling displays intricate gold relief patterns featuring angels and Australian flora, combining Irish and local Queensland decorative elements.
