Newstead House is Brisbane 's oldest domestic dwelling. One of the residents was Captain John Wickham , the Police Magistrate and Government Resident. The building was occupied by American troops during World War II . There is an Australian-American War Memorial in the grounds in memory of this. Newstead House is now a Museum and Heritage Listed . It is is open to the public, and Concerts are sometimes held at the house and grounds. In the 1920s the Brisbane City Council constructed an electrical Substation for its tramway system in the grounds of the House. Since the closure of the tram system in 1969 the substation has been used by the Queensland National Trust. EXTERNAL LINKS
