The Michael Gannon residence is a heritage-listed holiday home at 150 Kingsley Terrace, Manly, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

[1] The first European settlement of the Wynnum-Manly area of Moreton Bay occurred in the 1860s when two sugar mills, Lota and Wyvernleigh were established.

[1] It is likely that the house was constructed c. 1888 as, on 30 April of that year, a Bill of Mortgage was registered from Michael Brennan Gannon to the Royal Bank of Queensland.

A central hip roof covers the core of the house as well as extending over the verandahs to the north, south and west.

These enclosures are externally clad with asbestos cement sheeting and include a combination of louvred and awning sash windows.

In the hallway and the dining room the ceilings are pressed metal reinforcing the formal nature of these entry spaces.

Other original elements that survive within the house are a claw foot bath and gas lighting pipes within the ceiling cavity.

[1] The area under the house is generally enclosed with a combination of timber battens, asbestos cement sheeting and concrete block work.

[1] The Michael Gannon residence (c1888) was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 27 October 2000 having satisfied the following criteria.

It is particularly significant for its association with the growth of Manly as a popular seaside resort following the extension of the railway line to the area in 1889.

Substantial seaside houses still remaining on large areas of land are now uncommon, contributing to the significance of the place.

As a substantial, two-storeyed timber building with wide verandahs, incorporating decorative timber balustrading and brackets, set on a large block of land with views towards Moreton Bay, the residence is significant as a good example of a late 19th century seaside house.

[1] The place has a special association with the life or work of a particular person, group or organisation of importance in Queensland's history.

Constructed for Michael Brennan Gannon, Member of the Legislative Assembly for Toombul and Government Auctioneer and Valuator, the residence is significant for its association with this prominent Brisbane identity.
