Summary
  • From an album belonging to Eden Herschel Babbage (1844-1924), bank manager and bank inspector for the Bank of Australasia. E H Babbage joined the bank in Adelaide around 1864 and worked for it in New Zealand, New South Wales and Queensland before retiring in 1904, soon after he had settled in the Sydney suburb of Roseville. He became known as the "father of Roseville" and Babbage Road Roseville is named for him. [refs: entry for Benjamin Herschel Babbage (1815-1878) in 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'; Obituary for E H Babbage in 'Sydney Morning Herald' 6 February 1924 p.14) The building in this photograph is generally known as Stroud House, and was built in 1843 as the residence of Phillip Gidley King jnr, following his appointment as superintendant at Stroud for the Australian Agricultural Company. [ref: Damaris Bairstow A million pounds, a million acres: the pioneer settlement of the Australian Agricultural Company D. Bairstow, 2003, pp.261-263] Stroud House was still an AA Company residence in July 1882 when the Bank of Australasia opened a branch in Stroud with a temporary office in Stroud House. They were still there in 1904. [ref. Maitland Mercury 8.7.1882 p.6; Sydney Morning Herald 25.2.1904 pp.7-8]
