Ay Ot Lookout, Heritage villa in Charters Towers, Australia.
Ay Ot Lookout features wide verandahs with cast iron balustrades, high ceilings, and cedar joinery throughout its two-story Victorian architecture at 63 Hodgkinson Street.
The villa, constructed during the 1890s gold mining boom in Charters Towers, became the residence of Herbert Foxlee in 1904, who named it after his childhood home in England.
The residence exemplifies the prosperity of Queensland's gold mining era through its architectural elements, including marble flooring and decorative exposed stud framing.
The property, located one block from Charters Towers business center, operates as both a museum and employee club under Mount Leyshon Gold Mines Limited management.
The black and white chequerboard marble floor in the entrance foyer remains intact since its original installation during the late Victorian period construction.
