Boulia Stone House, Historic stone house in Boulia, Australia.

Boulia Stone House is a detached house on the corner of Pituri and Hamilton Streets, built circa 1881–1885 by stonemasons from Armidale. Its external walls are of local sandstone and limestone with lime mortar weathered by red sand, and the iron roof sheeting was carried by rail to Hughenden then by dray to Boulia. The house was reputedly constructed without nails.

Built between about 1881 and 1885 by three stonemasons from Armidale, New South Wales, the house took four years to complete. The land was bought by Henry Sanders Shaw in 1884; James Edward Jones, a storekeeper, purchased it in 1897. The Jones family kept it until 1978, when the Shire of Boulia bought it. After National Trust-funded repairs in 1976–77, it opened as a museum in the mid-1980s.

The museum inside displays objects from early settlement times in western Queensland and shows how people lived in the region. The collection helps you understand the daily lives of those who built the area.

The site is located on Pituri Street in the town of Boulia. Parking is available on site, along with public toilet facilities and open areas for observing local birds and wildlife.

The house was reputedly built without nails, and its roof iron was carried by rail to Hughenden, then by dray to Boulia. The stone is believed to have come from nearby Limestone Ridge, and the roof timbers were cut at a local saw pit.
