John Mills' residence is a heritage-listed villa at 107 Kadumba Street, Yeronga, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1914 to 1920s?. It is also known as John Mills' Residence. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 25 August 2000. == History == This house was erected /15 for John Charles Mills and his wife Sarah, who purchased the Yeronga site, which then comprised nearly 2 acres, in October 1913. The transfer was registered in the name of Sarah Mills in January 1915. A map of the Kitchener Estate at Yeronga, which was auctioned on 24 April 1915, refers to John Mills' new residence, and it is likely the house was completed by this date.〔 John Mills was a successful Brisbane printer, who traded from Adelaide Street as Mills and Green, printers and stationers, in the early years of the 20th century. From 1909, however, Mills was trading as John Mills Himself. During the First World War his business expanded, with a warehouse established at Newstead, and in 1919 he erected new brick premises at 40 Charlotte Street, Brisbane (John Mills Himself Building), designed by Brisbane architect John Henry Burley of Queen Street. By the 1920s the business was well established, attracting clients such as Steele Rudd. After his death, the business was conducted by his sons, John and Sam, and remained in the family until the 1980s.〔 It is possible that JH Burley also designed the Mills' Kadumba Street residence. Burley established a sound architectural practice in southeast Queensland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, his residential work including St Joseph's Presbytery at Kangaroo Point (1899), Bellissima Guest House at Canungra for the Lahey family (1916) and Inverness, the Nestles Company's manager's house at Toogoolawah (1917).〔 John and Sarah Mills resided at Kadumba Street (the section between Grimes and Douglas Streets was known as Dunn Street until 1946) from . John died in 1934, but his wife remained in their Yeronga home until her death in 1953. The property then passed to Queensland Trustees Ltd and was sold to Frederick William Filer and James Francis Swengley in 1954. In 1958 the house, on a reduced site, passed to James Francis and Grace Agnes Swengley, and they sold this property to Keith Eric Watt in 1962. In 1989 it was acquired by heritage conservation writer Ian Evans, who restored the house and grounds.〔 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「John Mills' residence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
