Stone Farm Building, Heritage-listed farm building in Fleurs, Clermont, Queensland, Australia.
The Stone Farm Building at Fleurs is a single-storeyed masonry structure of three rooms with an underground cellar. Its walls are random rubble finished inside and out with ant bed render, and its hipped, timber-framed roof is clad in short corrugated iron sheets. Verandahs run to all four sides in a broken back form, supported on bush timber posts, with a later verandah floor on the south-east and north-east sides.
Constructed during the 1880s by the Hatfield family as part of their pastoral operations, the building served multiple purposes including shearer's quarters and storage facility during Queensland's late 19th-century development period.
The name Fleurs came from Les Fleurs, given by Oscar de Satge, the first owner of Wolfang Station, after the district's wildflowers. The property bred horses and ran sheep and cattle; the stone building later served as shearer's quarters and is now used for storage.
Located approximately 6 kilometers from the Gregory Highway, the building contains three rooms and an underground cellar that was essential for cool food storage before modern refrigeration became available.
The building's walls are finished inside and out with ant bed render over random rubble stone, and its hipped roof has verandahs on all four sides in a broken back form. It was used as shearer's quarters at one stage and is now used for storage.
