"Colthup" as it is currently known as (Not the original name) is important in demonstrating the pattern of Queensland's history in that it reflects the suburban development of Ipswich in the latter 19th century. As one of four houses constructed around 1880 by the builder John Farrelly it is an example of multiple property development in a time of growth and expansion for Ipswich. It also exemplifies a trend in usage of recycled building materials as common practice during the period of construction. Some of which is believed to have been savaged from a fire at St Marys Convent in the prior to 1880.
The house is an intact example of an 1880s middle class dwelling with original design features and fittings still evident in the fabric. It stands as the most intact example of a group for four adjacent dwellings constructed around 1880.
The name Colthup comes from one of the early owners, James Colthup who sold it in 1918 but his name has still been attached to the house ever since.
Inside you'll find a Parlour with open fireplace, 5 bedrooms, a formal dining room with fireplace, lounge and 2 bathrooms. Great views to St Mary's Church from the back of the house looking over the CBD. Downstair in the cellar is an original concrete bathtub which is a must see.
