26°11′17″S 152°40′13″E / 26.188136012678566°S 152.67025801606903°E 30 Lady Mary Terrace, Gympie was originally owned by William Caldry who accumulated his wealth through mining ventures. At this stage it was a vacant block of land and was sold to William Smyth (also Smythe), the member for Gympie in the Queensland Legislative Assembly, in 1882.[1] The house and landscaped gardens were built around 1882 by William Smyth.
The building was then bought and used as a private residence until 2009[citation needed] when Choice Support Services bought the building, renovated it and used it as a community centre to provide services for people with mental health issues.[2]
The historic building was destroyed by fire on the 22 May 2012.[3]
