Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Haig's residence in Warwick, ca. 1890.
This house of sand bricks on a sandstone foundation was built for Henry Haig in the early 1880s on one acre of land at the western end of Albert Street. The first Haig, John, came to the Darling Downs with the Leslie Brothers in the early 1840s. He became not only the district's first Registrar, but also the first photographer in Warwick, thus founding the long standing family tradtion in this line of business.(Description supplied with photograph.). Warwick was the first town on the Darling Downs, established in 1849 on the banks of the Condamine River. The rich grazing land around the area supports horse and cattle studs, fine wool and grain. In 1871 the railway from Ipswich came through. Warwick is situated 158km south west of Brisbane on the Cunningham Highway. (Information taken from: M. Barca, Explore Historic Australia, 2002). |
