Pringle Cottage is a heritage-listed cottage at 81 Dragon Street, Warwick, Southern Downs Region, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1860s/1870s onwards by John McColluch. It is also known as John McCulloch's Cottage, Mountview, Milton College, and Miss Lukin's Boarding School. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. == History == Pringle Cottage is a two storeyed sandstone building, located within the Warwick and District Historical Society's museum grounds. It was built by a local stonemason, John McCulloch as his own residence in the 1860s or 1870s.〔 The land on which the cottage was built was first acquired by Deed of Grant by Edwin George Rigby in November 1862. This was transferred to John McCulloch in September 1863 when a new Certificate of Title was issued.〔 John McCulloch, a stonemason, arrived in Warwick in about 1862 and was responsible for the stone work of many of the sandstone buildings in the area including the Court House (1885); St Mark's Anglican Church (1874); St Andrew's Presbyterian Church (1869); Methodist Church (1875); and the Warwick Central State School (1874).〔 McCulloch is reported to be living in Warwick, as a stonemason, in the earliest Post Office Directory of 1868, although his address is not specified. Between 1871 and 1874 McCulloch borrowed about £950, and this may have been for the construction of his house.〔 The property passed from McCulloch's hands in March 1902 when it was transferred to Mrs Helen Devine, and then in April 1903 to Elizabeth Ann Devine. Archibald and Mary Crawford purchased the property in 1929, and it changes hands again in 1942 when Evan James William Mason acquires it.〔 Reputedly, a private school was run by a Mrs FS Pringle and her daughter, Miss FHM Pringle in the upper floor of the cottage from 1898 until at least 1905, when the last recorded break-up event was held.〔 In November 1979, the Warwick and District Historical Society took possession of the building and named the cottage after the Pringle family who operated the school.〔 The society then developed the Pringle Cottage Museum on the land around the cottage. 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「Pringle Cottage」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
