See Poy House, Heritage house in Innisfail, Australia
The See Poy House stands on Edith Street with multiple gables, timber construction, and corrugated metal roofing surrounded by concrete-edged garden beds.
Built between 1929 and 1932, the residence belonged to Johnstone and Theodora See Poy, second-generation Chinese Australians who managed the largest department store in North Queensland.
The house features leadlight windows, brass fittings, and selected timbers that demonstrate the construction methods and materials preferred by successful merchants in regional Queensland.
Located on the western outskirts of Innisfail's central business district, the house maintains its original layout with multiple rooms for dining, sleeping, and leisure activities.
The formal garden, designed by Johnstone See Poy, hosted numerous community events including the Baby Show for the local Anglican Church during the interwar period.
