Collection: Lamb House “Home”: Kangaroo Point.

Lamb House, located at Kangaroo Point in Brisbane, is a prominent heritage-listed residence that reflects the city’s early twentieth-century development. Built between about 1902 and 1908 for businessman John Lamb, co-proprietor of the Queen Street drapery Edwards & Lamb, the house was designed by noted Brisbane architect Alexander Brown Wilson in the Federation architectural style. 1 Positioned on the Kangaroo Point cliffs overlooking the Brisbane River, the residence exemplifies the trend of middle-class families establishing substantial homes in the area during this period. 1 The property remained in the Lamb family for many years but later fell into significant disrepair after being left unoccupied, with vandalism and neglect threatening its survival. 2 Recognised for its historical and architectural importance, Lamb House was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992, and in recent years it has undergone extensive restoration to preserve its original character and significance as a Brisbane landmark. 1&3
