Warriston is a heritage-listed duplex at 6-8 Musgrave Road, Red Hill, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was built . It is also known as Berley Flats. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. == History == Warriston was built for David Pringle Milne, a Brisbane west ward alderman from 1870-76, retired boot and shoe importer/manufacturer, and proprietor of the Glasgow Boot and Shoe Mart in Queen Street. The semi-detached houses may have been named after Warriston, a northern district of Glasgow.〔 In 1866 and 1874 Milne had acquired two blocks of land fronting Petrie Terrace (renamed Musgrave Road in 1888), and was recorded as resident on the site from the late 1860s. The kitchen houses attached to the present Warriston may be the original Milne residence.〔 The Milnes occupied No. 2 Warriston (the northern house and closest to the corner of Earle Street and Musgrave Road) until David Milne's death in 1897, while the other side was let to a succession of middle class occupants. These included surveyors WM Davidson and CT Bedford, Albert E Harte (a prominent Queen-street stock and share broker), and Captain James C O'Brien of the Queensland Defence Force. During the 1890s a private school operated in Warriston No. 1. From the 1910s Warriston served as a boarding house, and in the second half of the 20th century was converted into twelve flats (known as Berley Flats), the verandahs being enclosed and the exterior sheeted with asbestos-cement and stucco.〔 In 1986-88 new owners undertook a careful restoration and recycling project to convert the semi-detached houses (at that time still flats) into offices.〔 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「Warriston, Red Hill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
