Hibernia Lodge is a heritage-listed residence at 69 Collett Street, Queanbeyan, Queanbeyan-Palerang Region, New South Wales, Australia. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 and the former Register of the National Estate on 28 May 1996.[1][2]
History
It was built in 1865 as a residence for Obadiah Willans, the Queanbeyan Clerk of Petty Sessions.[3][2] It was designed by architect Alberto Soares, most known for his work on churches in the region.[4] During Willans' tenure, the house was described as the "social and cultural centre for the upper stratum of Queanbeyan society".[2]
After Willans' ownership ended, it was a family home until 1950, then divided up into flats, restored in the early 1980s and operated as an antique shop and tea shop, and returned to a private residence in the late 1980s.[2]
Description
Hibernia Lodge is a two-storey cottage in the Victorian Gothic style made of handmade bricks with a high gabled roof. It has three additions, a single-storey addition probably from the late nineteenth century, a later single-storey timber addition, and a two-storey addition added in recent decades. The name stems from the Irish origins of Willans' wife, Mary.[3][2]
Heritage listing
Hibernia Lodge was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.[1]
