Government House, Brisbane

Queensland's first Government House is located at Gardens Point in the grounds of the Queensland University of Technology at the end of George Street in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The building's construction was the first important architectural work undertaken by the newly formed Government of Queensland.
The government residential building was constructed to accommodate the first Governor of Queensland, Sir George Bowen, and his family.

The two-storey building was designed by colonial architect Charles Tiffin in the Classical revival style in 1860.
The first stage of the building was completed in March 1862 by builder Joshua Jeays. The building is built from locally-sourced materials, predominantly sandstone, porphyry, red cedar, hoop pine and cast iron.
