Coorooman is a heritage-listed detached house at 38 Dorchester Street, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was built in the 1860s. It is also known as The Grange. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. == History == Coorooman, a single-storeyed timber residence with attic and basement, was constructed by , when it was known as Grange House. Materials and stylistic details suggest it was erected much earlier, probably in the 1860s.〔 Portion 147, a 9-acre parcel which included the Grange House site, was alienated in 1856 by Thomas Blacket Stephens. Portion 147 was part of approximately 125 acres - most of the land between what is now Stephen's Road and Gladstone Road, and from Vulture Street to Gloucester Street - alienated by TB Stephens at this period. Stephens erected the first Cumbooquepa (Somerville House) on this land, and may have erected Grange House as well, which would account for its northern orientation to Vulture Street.〔 Stephens subdivided portion 147 about 1863, and title to the Grange House site of 24.8 perches (subdivisions 16 and 17), fronting the newly created Water Street West to the south and overlooking the Brisbane River to the north, was transferred to Helen Bell and her sister Ann Paton Love, in April 1863. The Love family retained title to this property until the late 1870s, but do not appear to have lived there.〔 In 1882 title passed to Janet Burns, and she and her husband John were resident at Grange House by the following year. He was a merchant in business with his brother, James, who established the trading and mercantile firm of Burns, Philp & Co. Ltd in 1883. John Burns died in 1884, but Grange House remained the property of the Burns family until 1912, during which time it was mostly rented to middle class tenants.〔 Lionel Clive Ball acquired the property in 1912, and renamed the house Coorooman. Ball became chief government geologist in 1931 and pioneered the geological mapping of Queensland based on aerial photography. The Ball family held the property until 1956.〔 Coorooman remains a substantially intact, mid-19th century residence.〔 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「Coorooman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
