Craigellachie is a heritage-listed detached house at 10 Fosbery Street, Windsor, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was built by its owner John Grant, a stonemason. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. == History == Craigellachie, a single-storeyed masonry residence, was constructed during the late 1880s boom, and the resubdivision of Windsor-Lutwyche for closer settlement. It was erected by master stonemason John Grant as his family home.〔 In 1887 Grant purchased just over an acre of land in what was then known as Alice Street. Two years later he raised a mortgage of £450 on the property, which most likely financed the construction of the house in late 1889 or early 1890.〔 Whether the house was always known as Craigellachie is unclear, as the name does not appear in post office directories until 1904.〔 Grant and his wife Jane raised eight children at Craigellachie. He died aged forty-five in December 1899, but the house remained the property of the Grant family until 1974.〔 The residence was converted into three flats probably in the late 1940s or 1950s, but was refurbished in the mid-1970s. The interior was returned to its original layout, paint to joinery and doors was removed, and the exterior was renovated.〔 Craigellachie remains a family home.〔 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「Craigellachie, Windsor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
