It was designed by Alexander Brown Wilson and built from 1889 to 1890 for Charles William Snow. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.[1] HistoryConsidered to be the work of noted architect Alexander B Wilson, Leckhampton was built for Charles William Snow shortly after he purchased the land in 1889. Snow was a prominent city jeweller (his son Charles Smethurst Snow was the founder of the Boy Scouts in Queensland).[2] He died in 1913 and the house remained in the Snow family until 1924.[1] Leckhampton was owned by George and Jessie Hughes from 1924 to 1947.[3] Leckhampton was converted into flats by the 1960s. In 1984, the building was refurbished as office accommodation. As part of the redevelopment a similarly styled building was constructed next door.[1] DescriptionLeckhampton is a two-storeyed brick house with a ribbed iron hipped roof. The front and south-east side of the house are sheltered on both levels by deep verandahs which feature decorative cast-iron balusters, columns and friezes. A square, double-storeyed bay, surmounted by a parapet, projects from the northern corner of the main facade. Entry is through a pedimented doorway which leads to a vestibule hall and stairway lit by an impressive stained glass window. Two single-storeyed enclosed verandahs have been added to the rear. A new paved entertainment and pool area behind the house link Leckhampton with the new building.[1] Heritage listingLeckhampton was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992 having satisfied the following criteria.[1] The place is important in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Queensland's history.Leckhampton provides evidence of an expression of confidence during the 1880s by a prominent businessman and of the earlier affluent residential character of parts of Kangaroo Point.[1] The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a particular class of cultural places.Leckhampton is significant as an externally intact and aesthetically pleasing example of a large, late nineteenth century, city residence on the southside.[1] The place is important because of its aesthetic significance.Leckhampton is significant as an externally intact and aesthetically pleasing example of a large, late nineteenth century, city residence on the southside.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite QHR|15021|Leckhampton|600246|accessdate=1 August 2014}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article19611148|title=OUR SCOUTS.|date=16 October 1909|newspaper=The Brisbane Courier|issue=16,151|location=Queensland, Australia|volume=LXVI,|page=4|via=National Library of Australia|accessdate=26 December 2016}} 3. ^{{Citation|title=Historic homes of Brisbane : a selection|publication-date=1979|author1=Hogan, Janet|author2=Stringer, Richard, 1936-, (photographer.)|author3=National Trust of Queensland|publisher=Boolarong Publications|isbn=978-0-908009-15-2}} Attribution{{QHR-CC-2014}}External links{{Commons category-inline|Leckhampton, Kangaroo Point}} 7 : Queensland Heritage Register|Kangaroo Point, Queensland|Houses in Queensland|Alexander Brown Wilson buildings|1890 establishments in Australia|Articles incorporating text from the Queensland Heritage Register|Houses completed in 1890 |
