WOLSTON HOUSE


 
Wolston House is an early stone and brick farmhouse built in 1852 but substantially extended in the 1860's. The layout of this early farm house, one room width linked by verandahs with cellars and dairy underneath, is unusual in Queensland. Although only 25 minutes from Brisbane, the house retains its pastoral setting overlooking the river flats.
