1860s panorama of Ipswich, Queensland with "Claremont" on the left

            Claremont is a fine example of colonial architecture in Ipswich, Queenslad and was built for the merchant John Panton, who occupied it in 1858. In 1863 he sold Claremont to George Thorn, an innkeeper and important Ipswich figure of the period. It was in Thorn's time that Claremont was the centre of social and political activity in Ipswich. The Thorn family sold the building to Mr. G.R. Wilson in 1906 but he did not reside in it. Instead his brother, John Cecil Norman Wilson and his family lived there until 1922 when both brothers died and the property was inherited by Ralph Somerset Wilson.
After a succession of owners Claremont was purchased by the National Trust of Queensland in 1975. The building had been considerably altered over the years and the National Trust had it restored to it's original state. It remained a National Trust home open to the public, until 2002 when it was sold.
