Friendville (manor house)
Friendville is a large manor house and estate in the Mannofield area of Aberdeen, Scotland, operated as a hireable exclusive use venue. It is notable for being situated in the city of Aberdeen itself yet containing an estate and gardens that are more commonly found in rural country houses. Friendville house is a category B listed building and the oldest residential property still in use in Aberdeen.〔("FRIENDVILLE GREAT WESTERN ROAD AND THORNGROVE AVENUE. (Ref:20102)" ). Historic Scotland. Retrieved 14 December 2012.〕 It is one of Aberdeen's most valuable properties.〔("The stuff dreams are made of" ). Press and Journal. 11 October 2011. Retrieved 13 December 2012.〕
==History==
Friendville was built for Robert Balmanno in 1773 in the area of land known at the time as Balmanno's Field which was acquired a year early by Balmanno from the Rubislaw Estate and cultivated as farmland. Friendville was built at the edge of this land as a private residence for Balmanno where he stayed until 1798, when the house was purchased by Arthur Dingwall Fordyce.〔Brodgen, W. ''Aberdeen: An Illustrated Architectural Guide''. Rutland Press; 4th Revised edition (May 1998).〕
In the period between 1798 and 1952 Friendville changed hands a number of times but always remained a residential property, during this time large areas of the house were neglected and were allowed to deteriorate, particularly the grounds and the gardens of Friendville which became an eyesore in the affluent Mannofield neighborhood. In 1952 the estate was purchased by William Bell a well known antiques dealer in Aberdeen who undertook a project to restore Friendville.
Under the guidance of architect Fenton Wynness, the house and grounds were renovated in an attempt to bring the house back to its original standard whilst maintaining the Georgian architecture and Victorian interior.〔Wyness, F. ''Aberdeen Century of Change''. Impulse Books; 1st edition (Nov 1971).〕
