DescriptionOriginally known as 'Gunyaba', 1 Park Street, was the home of architect George Brockwell Gill, who practiced in Ipswich from the late 1880s until 1943. Many of his buildings including the Memorial Hall, the Technical College and the mansion Fairy Knoll are on the Queensland Heritage Register. Always interested in health, he wrote letters to his family in England talking about the benefits of taking a complete plunge bath-in cold water - on the verandah of his home. Later owners were the Patterson family who renamed it Merryfields. References (offline)Information taken from Ipswich City Council, Heritage Trail 13.
