Cairnsville is a heritage-listed detached house at 41 Balfour Street, New Farm, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Richard Gailey and built by Charles Le Brocq. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. == History == Cairnsville is a single-storeyed timber house built in 1889. It was designed by Richard Gailey, the notable architect, for Charles le Brocq, a prominent builder, local landowner and floating baths proprietor who retained the house as a rental property for professional tenants.〔 Its first occupant was Albert Victor Drury, a brother of Edward Drury, the general manager of the National Bank of Queensland. He was the clerk of the executive council from 1867 to 1904, and private secretary to Queensland Governor William Cairns from 1875 to 1877. Drury named the house in memory of this recently deceased governor.〔 In 1897 Drury left Cairnsville, which has had a number of owners and tenants in succeeding years, including a period as a boarding house.〔 However, through much of the 1900s, the Le Brocq family occupied the house.〔Queensland Electoral Rolls: 1922, 1934, 1941, 1949, 1959, 1969〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cairnsville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
