Pfeiffer House, Charters Towers, Heritage-listed residence in Charters Towers, Australia
Pfeiffer House stands as a single-story timber structure with an L-shaped layout, featuring three parallel gables and encircling verandahs with corrugated iron roofing.
Friedrich Pfeiffer, a German immigrant and mining magnate, constructed this residence near his Day Dawn gold mine in 1881 during Charters Towers' mining prosperity.
The building represents the economic power of mining entrepreneurs in Queensland, displaying architectural elements common to North Queensland's late Victorian period.
Located at 2-6 Paull Street, the building now serves as a church facility following its restoration in 1981 by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
The structure contains a barrel-vaulted hall with colored glass panels and cedar doors, making it one of the oldest exposed frame timber constructions in North Queensland.
