Eliza (Mrs. Terrill) Minnie (Mrs. Corney), and J. Arthur Goodrich, aged 80 years. The Argus (Melbourne, Victoria) Monday 18th October 1943 p.2 CITY OF BOROONDARA MUNICIPAL-WIDE HERITAGE GAP STUDY The terrace row at 209-217 (originally numbered 159-167) Auburn Road was constructed in 1883, for owner Emily Sophia Goodrich Morkham. Situated on land which is part of portion 100 of the Parish of Boroondara, the terraces are at the corner of Auburn Road and Bowler Street (formerly known as Frisch then Urquhart Street). Built as a row of five, the City of Hawthorn’s 1883-84 rate book noted two unfinished houses of £20 Net Annual Value and one of £10. The row was completed the following year, and each of the five brick terraces was initially built comprising seven rooms and valued at £50 each (RB 1884-85). Built across what was originally two parcels of land, Emily Morkham acquired the first block of land in September 1882, and the second in June 1883. In August 1883, the two titles were transferred to Melbourne Mutual Benefit Building Society for about a year, presumably related to financing during the time of construction, and finally both parcels of land were transferred back to Emily Morkham in October 1884 (CT: V1389/F783; V1488/F490). Emily Morkham owned the terrace row until her death in 1912, renting the dwellings to various tenants. Early tenants include a number of retired gentlemen including Augustus Bing and John Evans, and a number of tradespeople including Charles D Aston and Charles J Robinson. Emily Morkham’s husband William Morkham served as an accountant and stamp controller at the General Post Office until 1896, when he was suspended from his duty following a stamps trafficking incident (Age 10 February 1897:5). Even after the accusation, the Morkhams were well provided for, owning quite a lot of properties across the City of Hawthorn and other suburbs under Emily Morkham’s name. The Morkhams themselves resided at a large property named ‘Christowell’, off Riversdale Road in Camberwell. Erected on a large lot, ‘Christowell’ was a substantial two-storey brick house of 16 rooms, accompanied by weatherboard outbuildings at its rear (RB; Argus 25 November 1896:1). At the time of Emily’s death in 1912 her estate was valued at a £10,368, including £3,688 worth of real estate, indicating the considerable wealth of the family (PROV). The residence is now lost, with the land being subdivided to form Christowell Street, off Riversdale Road, and surrounding lots (Age 27 November 1913:2; Age 27 July 1915:9). EMIGRATION Travelled from England to Australia with her father John Goodrich when she was 6 years old (c.1854) (Aldwyn Thomas Swales) TRAVEL NOTES 1. A Mrs. E.
