Naldham House, Heritage building in Brisbane, Australia.
Naldham House sits on Mary Street with a distinctive octagonal tower topped by a cupola, fluted columns, and large semi-circular arched windows spanning its four floors. The building displays refined Victorian architecture with classical details throughout its facade.
The building was constructed in 1864 as a two-story office for a steam navigation company. A major expansion in 1888 doubled its height and created the four-level structure seen today.
The name Naldham comes from the telex address of MacDonald Hamilton & Co, formed from the middle letters of MacDoNALD and HAMilton. The firm moved in around 1914 and added silky oak panelling on the first floor. Since July 2024 the building has operated as a multi-level dining venue.
Naldham House stands at 33 Felix Street, on the corner of Mary Street, a short walk from the Brisbane River and Waterfront Place. Since July 2024 it operates as a multi-level dining venue, so visitors come for its restaurants and bars rather than for meetings or conferences.
The year 1888 is carved in stone into the northern facade, marking when the building was expanded and transformed. This inscription remains a visible reminder of the major renovation that doubled the structure's size.
