Keiraville, Ipswich

[1] Keiraville is a single storeyed rendered masonry house, the first stage of which was probably erected c. 1880s by contractor John MacKenzie.

Harry, of the local firm Cribb and Foote, was a well known sportsman and it may have been at this time that the tennis court was erected on allotment 4.

[1][2] Keiraville is a single-storeyed rendered masonry house with a corrugated iron pyramid roof and timber verandahs on three sides.

It is one of a group of three buildings on the Uniting Church site, being located in the well-treed north-eastern portion.

The northern Roderick St elevation has a small front yard and a modest entrance (currently not used) consisting of rendered masonry stairs and a timber arch spanning between posts which has the words "The Manse" are inscribed upon it.

Two tall rendered masonry chimneys and a metal ventilator rise above the ridge of the roof.

[1] The rendered masonry former kitchen wing is attached to the south-western corner of the main house, and has a hipped roof, and a brick chimney.

The south-eastern wing is single skin timber with externally exposed framing, and contains two rooms which may have served as accommodation.

Keiraville is important in demonstrating the development of Ipswich, which is part of the pattern of Queensland's history.
