Description

DescriptionThe house is believed to have been built around 1898 for Richard Watson. About this time he had married a widow and mother of five children, Mrs. Fox (note it is believed this information is incorrect and Mrs. Fox was married to Richard's brother). Watson's father had arrived in the colony in 1841 and established a stock property. Later, Richard and two brothers established a butcher's business in Ipswich. Richard Watson also served on the council, was mayor from 1911 to 1912, and was a member of the Hospital Board, the Technical College Committee and charity organisations.References (online)Mr. Richard Watson's New Residence, Queensland Times, tue 22 Feb 1898, p2
