Monkton is a heritage-listed timber-framed domestic house at 7 Ardoyne Road, Corinda, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Elina Mottram and built in 1925 for William and Margaret Dunlop. It is designed by Elina Emily Mottram, who was the first woman in Queensland to establish her own architectural practice. It is historically significant because of its association with the entry of women into the local professions in Queensland, especially so into the architectural profession. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 31 July 2008.Monkton is located at the northern end of Ardoyne Road at Corinda. It has a symmetrical front that comprises double-sided gables that face the road on both sides of a projecting porch. Bay windows flank either sides of the porch. These architectural qualities are significant as they are still intact in form and detailing of a timber residence. Monkton has been described as having a focus on utility and comfort, which she credits as attributes of Mottram's early work. She quotes Florence Taylor as saying, "Men build houses but women build homes" and Beatrice Hutton's statement, "Men don't know how to build houses for women. Think of the cupboards that are either left out or put in the wrong place! And there are many details that only a woman can understand."These details include early built-in joinery cabinets that can be found throughout the house. A linen press extends to the ceiling in the hallway, a former servery, cupboards and a pantry/broom cupboard extends to the ceiling in the kitchen, a wardrobe with storage cupboards extends to the ceiling in the main bedroom and a cupboard in the parlor. All rooms in Monkton have walls lined with v-jointed boards and ceilings of fiber-cement with cover strips. Monkton is one of only a few surviving examples of the work of early women architects in Queensland and one of only three in Brisbane.
