Old Westmoreland Homestead, Heritage homestead in Nicholson, Queensland, Australia.
The stone homestead measures 10 by 14 meters with a verandah, featuring sandstone blocks joined with ant bed mortar and corrugated galvanized iron roofing.
Built in 1882 by Thomas Brassey McIntosh, the homestead served as a defensive structure during a period of territorial conflicts with Indigenous populations.
The building represents early European pastoral settlements in northwest Queensland through its architectural elements, including thick walls and minimal window openings.
Located 150 kilometers west-northwest of Burketown, the homestead currently functions as a storage facility and outdoor entertainment space.
The structure remains the sole standing residential building from its era on the former Westmoreland Station, which originally covered 640 square miles.
