One of Australia s grandest Federation mansions could finally be rescued from ruin that left it a magnet for squatters and vandals as it goes up for sale for at least $10 million.
The 1903 Brisbane home was designed by British architect Alexander B Wilson for cloth entrepreneur John Lamb and built across eight blocks at an estimated cost of £3,250 at the time - $490,000 in today s money.
Known as Home or Lamb House , it was considered one of the finest examples of Queen Anne Federation architecture for its era and it was a landmark Brisbane property for many years.
Despite being in a state of total disrepair, the Lamb House is expected to sell for at least $10 million - mainly because of its amazing riverside location and the huge 3,146 square metre block size
