This traditional Japanese house is hidden behind a high suburban hedge of shrubs and not visible from the road. The house is a single story Japanese residence imported in kit form by a Brisbane judge as his home. It was erected in Brisbane in 1887 by Japanese labourers from Kobe. It is a traditional Japanese house with interiors divided by wooden framed paper doors. The house was sold in 1962 to a doctor who had the house dismantled and re-erected in the Townsville region with the help of architecture students. More recently the house has been restored over a decade long labour of love by the current owners.
