North Adelaide Heritage Apts
Its a little incorrect. George Lowe Esquire was Rodney Twiss’s (owner of N ADL Heritage apts) great uncle and he lived in Buxton Manor in 1920 to 1922. He was a ‘Mercantile Prince’ ie he was a Managing Director of a large trading company and a gentleman.
Sir Josiah Symons was the Chief Justice and a Member of Parliament of South Australia. He was the Chair of the committee who drafted the Constitution of Australia which lead to our independence and the Federation of Australia in 1900. He had the most extensive library in existance at the time and this formed the nucleus of the embryotic South Australian library.
We believe this library was situated in the drawing room of the George Lowe Esquire apartment as Sir Josiah and members of his family lived in buxton manor from 1922 to around 1954.
