The history of the house 'Gwandoban', which means "place of rest" in Aboriginal dialect, was built in 1911 by David Lacey Jones, the grandson of the founder of the David Jones department stores.
The architecture typifies the Queensland colonial style with its wide verandas, high ceilings and ornate characteristics including pressed metal ceilings, a distinctive archway and magnificent lead light windows in the loungeroom.
