Kenmore House, Rockhampton, Heritage mansion in The Range, Rockhampton, Australia.

The two-story brick mansion at 31 Ward Street features Flemish Bond brickwork, a Corinthian columned portico, and extensive cornicing across its facade.

John Ferguson, a local builder and politician, constructed this residence in 1894 with materials including locally sourced black and white marble for the ballroom.

The Sisters of Mercy transformed the private residence into the Mater Misericordiae Hospital in 1915, establishing medical services for the Rockhampton community.

The property maintains its original features such as ornate plaster ceilings, carved cedar staircase, and stained glass windows within the hospital complex.

Ferguson ordered monogrammed china and gold plate for this residence, intending it to become a government house for a new Australian state.
