Ashgrove Architecture

| Queenslander house on Brisbane hill-top |
One thing that makes Ashgrove so unique is the ‘Ashgrovian’ architecture.
- Ashgrovian houses were constructed in the 1920s and made mainly from wood and tin.
- This style of house generally features a large verandah and a gabled roof with large rooms.
The Ashgrovian Queenslander
- Grand Gables, sheltered verandahs and ‘sleep-outs’,
c 1920 – c 1930 - Ashgrovian is the term coined for ‘grand gabled’ Queenslanders built between the late 1920s and World War II, originating from the Brisbane suburb of Ashgrove.
- The Ashgrovian can be described as a distinctly Queensland take on the Californian bungalow – which was very popular in and around Sydney at the same time.
- Taking elements of the bungalow’s gabled roof and front porch, local Queensland builders developed homes that presented grand gable roof, often surrounded by secondary smaller gables behind. The smaller gables usually sheltered verandahs and sleep-outs.
Key features of Ashgrovian style Queenslanders include:
- Grand gable roof
- Large, sheltered verandah
- bay windows
