Baddow House

Baddow House is a historic heritage-listed residence located at 366 Queen Street in Maryborough, Queensland, Australia. Built in 1883 for Edgar Thomas Aldridge, the house was designed by architect Willoughby Powell and showcases the architectural style of the era. The property is situated on high riverside land, reflecting the area's rich history as a significant settlement along the Mary River. Edgar Aldridge, who named the house after his birthplace in England, played a pivotal role in the early development of Maryborough, establishing businesses and contributing to the community's growth. The house is a testament to the prosperity of the region during the late 19th century, a time marked by economic expansion and the construction of notable buildings in Maryborough. Baddow House was added to the Queensland Heritage Register in 1992, making it a valuable site for tourists and researchers interested in Queensland's colonial history and architectural heritage.
