St Aubins, Rockhampton
By Seeker
St Aubins is a heritage-listed house located in West Rockhampton, Queensland, built around 1889 by Johann Rodekirchen, a German immigrant and brickmaker. The house is notable for its handmade bricks, which were produced at Rodekirchen's nearby brickworks. The property reflects the wealth and growth of Rockhampton during the late 19th century, particularly after the gold rush at Mount Morgan. St Aubins features distinctive architectural elements, including external staircases and a rich history tied to the local German community and prominent figures like merchant Albrecht Feez. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register in 1992, making it an important site for tourists and researchers interested in Queensland's cultural and architectural heritage.
