'Burnage Homestead' is one of Toowoomba's iconic homes and was built in 1874 by George Washington Griffiths, one of the founding fathers of the Toowoomba Foundry. There's no doubt that she is a fine example of our early heritage and if walls could talk just imagine the many stories this grand old lady could tell. Steeped with history this impressive architectural residence, once occupied an expansive 80 acre land parcel overlooking the Toowoomba range. Now some 150 years on, the home rests on a valuable 2092m2 allotment and is ready to transition from one family to another, an opportunity for someone who appreciates our early architecture to enjoy the fruits of hard work and labour of the current owner plus add their own stamp on this renowned character residence.
