Aldborough, Charters Towers, Heritage-registered colonial building in Charters Towers, Australia.

Aldborough is a large single-storey timber villa at the corner of Deane and Hodgkinson streets, one block south of Charters Towers' main business street. Built as a bungalow suited to the local climate, it faces the corner and has a spacious verandah with cast iron railings, a handsome flight of front steps, two floor-to-ceiling bay windows, and glass front and rear doors with sidelights. Inside are an arched hallway, cedar cornices and an embossed stamped paper frieze in the dining and drawing rooms.

Aldborough was built in 1896 for draper Alfred Edwin Daking-Smith, who arrived in Charters Towers in 1891 and named the house after Aldeburgh in Suffolk, England, where he had lived with his grandmother. The contractor was Thomas Barry O'Meara and the architect William Henry Allan Munro. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 14 August 2008.

The name Aldborough honours the years Alfred Daking-Smith spent with his grandmother at Aldeburgh, Suffolk, before he sailed for Australia in 1887. The house was built as a bungalow, a form considered suited to the local climate, with a front verandah and cast iron railings. Its position facing the Deane and Hodgkinson corner was chosen for outlook and privacy.

Aldborough stands at 25 Deane Street, on the corner of Deane and Hodgkinson streets, one block south of Charters Towers' main business street. It is a private residence, so the house is viewed from the street; the corner position gives a clear look at the front steps, verandah and bay windows. Its Queensland Heritage Register entry of 14 August 2008 records the details.

The name honours the Suffolk coastal town of Aldeburgh, where Alfred Daking-Smith lived with his grandmother after his parents died. Born in 1866, he reached Melbourne in 1887 and opened his own drapery in Mosman Street in 1891. The house was reported as nearing completion in The North Queensland Register on 21 October 1896.
