Position on map:
Ceramic House, built circa 1919, is historically significant in demonstrating the early 20th century phase of development in Nerang. The house is representative of the design and form of the ‘Queenslander’ style of timber house that was once common on the Gold Coast. As a result of development, which has transformed rural areas into suburban environments, these types of houses are now becoming increasingly uncommon. Ceramic House, despite being relocated a number of times, continues to demonstrate the principal characteristics of an early 20th century timber and iron domestic dwelling. Ceramic House has an association with the Nerang Community Association who lobbied to save the house from demolition in the late 1990s. Today, the house is a symbolic representation of the past in the present and valued as a community building.
