Keating House is a heritage-listed villa at 10–12 Westminster Road, Indooroopilly, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

By the late 1880s government and social facilities, including a school, an hotel, shops and a carpenter were established in Indooroopilly.

[1] Louis Stamm is variously described in sources as a merchant, newspaper proprietor and brewery owner in Queensland.

Gailey was commissioned for the design of a number of substantial residences in the late nineteenth century, including Moorlands, Glen Olive (his own house) and Verney.

A description of early large homes in Indooroopilly appeared in the Brisbane Courier of 15 August 1931 which after listing a number of the houses mentioned above describes the house of Louis Stamm:[1] "...while the home of Mr LJ Keating, on Westminster-road was constructed to the design of the late Mr Richard Gailey and is considered to be one of the outstanding examples of residential architecture in Brisbane.

By 1885 Stamm retained only 10 acres (4.0 ha) of his original Indooroopilly allotment and this was mortgaged to Henry Love who subdivided it in the late 1880s.

In 2008 Amalek were served with a maintenance notice to repair doors and windows, clear the drains and fence and mow the yard.

The building is apparent from many surrounding streets and is distinguished from other development in the area by its age and unusual architectural treatment.

[1] Access is provided to the building from a two part stair extending from the Westminster Road footpath to the entrance door.

The Westminster Road boundary of the property is bordered by a large rendered masonry fence which acts as a retaining wall, braced by a number of piers.

Centrally positioned in this fence is a wrought iron gate providing access to a series of concrete stair rendered with a red colouring.

[1] The southern elevation which is the principal facade, has a central entrance bay, with the tower element to the east and a gabled projection to the west.

The central entrance, to which access is provided via the already mentioned stairs, is a single timber framed and glazed door with an elliptical fanlight above.

Below the windows, which are separated by simple moulded pier-like elements is a concrete panel with six rectangular perforations, filled with glass bricks on the inside face.

The ground floor of tower windows are shaded by an awning supported on oversized brackets and extending from the front door around to the eastern facade of the building.

The gabled projection on the southern face of the building features a ground floor bay window which has a steeply pitched hipped awning supported in similarly oversized brackets.

The western, eastern and northern faces of the building, continue the banded mouldings, fenestration patterns and gable detailing.

The building is an outstanding example of late nineteenth century architecture in its picturesque massing, unusual detailing and garden setting.

In particular the timber wall panelling, pressed metal ceilings, carpeting, fixed furnishing and other fittings on the ground floor of the residence are of particular interest.

The building is prominently sited on a principal thoroughfare and is distinguished by its unusual architectural treatment and age from the surrounding development.
