Online reference http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/vhd/heritagevic#detail_places;65382〕 It was built in 1888 by John Boyes and is considered to be a fine example of the boom style Italianate architecture of that time.〔On My Doorstep Heritage Listings Website. Online reference http://www.onmydoorstep.com.au/heritage-listing/2604/wardlow〕 Wardlow has been used as the exterior of Phryne Fisher's house in the ABC's period drama ''Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries Themes – The Arts )〕 ==John and Mary Boyes== John Boyes who built Wardlow was born in Sheffield, England in 1833. He was the son of William Boyes who was a carpenter〔United Kingdom Census of 1851.〕 and Sarah Rollinson. In about 1850 he became an apprentice saw maker which was the same occupation as his brother William.〔United Kingdom Census of 1851.〕 In about 1860 he migrated to Australia and resided for some years at Heathcote, Victoria. In 1863 he married Mary Hill who was the only daughter of Isaac Hill.〔The Argus (Melbourne), 13 June 1863, p. 4. Online reference http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article6486514?〕 She had also migrated from England. The couple lived for two years in Heathcote. In 1865 John’s brother William migrated to Melbourne with his wife Emma and their children. At this time John moved to Melbourne and the brothers commenced their ironmongery business trading as the Boyes Brothers. They are listed in the 1866 Victorian Post Office Directory as having a saw making establishment in Russell Street Melbourne.〔Victorian Post Office Directory, 1866, p. 17. Online reference http://books.google.com.au/books?id=wQkFAAAAYAAJ&dq=fryerstown+vic&q=boyes#v=snippet&q=boyes&f=false〕 The business flourished and they expanded their activities into the importation of hardware. They eventually owned the four buildings〔Will of John Boyes 1910.〕 which still exist in Russell St Melbourne which are now listed as places of historical significance. They are at 213 to 219 Russell Street. In 1879 John built two terrace houses at 110 and 112 Park Drive Parkville which are adjacent to Wardlow . He and his family lived at No 110 until 1888 when he built Wardlow and the three adjoining terrace Houses behind in Degraves Street. These six houses were the basis of John’s residential real estate and all still exist today and are heritage listed〔Victorian National Trust. Online reference http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/vhd/heritagevic#detail_places;65382〕 John and Mary had four children one of whom was Mary Elizabeth Boyes (born in 1868). In 1892 Mary Elizabeth married the Reverend Frederick Arthur Booth〔Australian Town and Country Journal (NSW), 11 June 1892, p. 35. Online reference http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article71239142?searchTerm=boyes parkville&searchLimits=〕 and the couple had four children. Unfortunately in 1901 Reverend Booth was struck by a train〔The Argus (Melbourne),18 November 1901, p. 5. Online reference http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article9616609?〕 and Mary Elizabeth was left a widow. She came to live in Wardlow with her father John Boyes who was now a widower as his wife had died in the previous year. She and her four children lived there until John’s death in 1910. In his Will John made special provision for his daughter Mary Elizabeth Booth and her children as they had no father to provide for them. He left them in trust the six houses mentioned above. An extract from his will which outlines these provisions is shown at the left. 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「Wardlow, Parkville, Melbourne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
