History

Goonoobah was built between June 1841 and May 1842 for George Furber, the owner of the George and Dragon Hotel. A central hallway and main entrance for both Goonoobah and the conjoined and also-heritage listed Woodlands was built in 1896, before both buildings were converted into a complex of three flats in 1930.

It has a large hipped iron roof and a bullnose verandah with cast-iron fence and columns; and French windows with shutters. There are three large stuccoed chimneys, two with pots.
