DescriptionBowerlea was built in 1929 for Mrs Fox, widow of the well-known chemist W.F.S. Fox, and their unmarried daughter Nell, who moved from Bowerbank after he died. The house sits opposite the entrance to Queens Park on the corner of Milford and South Streets, and is a Queensland timber variation of the popular Californian Bungalow. In the Queensland Times on 29 March 1930 the home is described as "a fine example of Queensland domestic architecture, a noticeable feature being the treatment of the gables, finished by the use of Barge tiles and Wunderlich tile roof." The architect was George Brockwell Gill and the builder, H.E. Wildey.References (offline)Ipswich City Council ‘Heritage Study, 1991’
