The Deanery, Brisbane, Heritage site in Brisbane, Australia
The Deanery features thick random porphyry walls, sandstone facings, and a pyramidal hipped roof with dormer windows at 417 Ann Street.
Queensland's colonial proclamation occurred from the first-floor balcony in December 1859, when Sir George Bowen temporarily resided in the building.
The structure transformed from a private residence to a Church Institute in 1899, serving the Anglican community through various ecclesiastical functions.
Visitors can examine original architectural elements including fireplaces, joinery, and timber verandahs that showcase mid-19th century residential construction methods.
The Deanery stands as one of Brisbane's earliest surviving residential buildings, constructed in 1853 by Andrew Petrie for Dr William Hobbs.
