Kew Historical Society IncArchive (Series) - SYME Family
... Banool – Kew (Vic.)... – Kew (Vic.) Conisboro – Kew (Vic.) Banool – Kew (Vic ...Various PartiesReference, Research, InformationArranged by Secondary Values (value of records to users)David Syme migrated to Australia in 1852. His family were owners and publishers of The Melbourne Age. Properties in Kew associated with the family included Conisboro, Banool and Blythswood. In a biography given to the Kew Historical Society by the daughter of Geoffrey Syme, Dr Veronica Cordon, it is noted that these properties often were passed around between the family, and were all in close proximity to the Yarra River along Findon Crescent and Studley Park Road. Of all the property that the Syme family would come to own, only the Italianate mansion ‘Swinton’, located at 23 Swinton Avenue, remains. The file includes: Newspaper articles regarding the Syme family and properties, multiple pages of information donated by Veronica Cordon, a history of Woori Yallock which mentions David Syme, and a passenger manifest listing two members of the Symes family and arrival details.

Kew Historical Society IncDrawing - Property Illustration, Margaret Picken, 18 Banool Avenue, Kew, 2001
... 18 banool avenue -- kew (vic.)...- architectural drawings -- houses -- kew (vic.) 18 banool avenue -- kew ...After training as a Cartographic Draftsman within the mining industry, I worked as a property illustrator for real estate firms in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne for 23 years from 1983. I initially photographed houses with a Polaroid camera and made a 'thumbnail' sketch while there. The photos were used to scale off a sketch in pencil and then that sketch was overlaid with drafting film and the 'pen and ink' completed. The pens I used were the Rotring ‘Rapidigraph’ drafting pens. The ink was also made by Rotring (German).The film was ‘Rapidraw’, polyester drafting film, double matte. It takes a very fine line and doesn’t bleed. As well as house sketches, there were often floor plans and site plans ordered. Aerial sketches were ordered when the property needed an overall view. (Margaret Picken, 2020)This drawing is one of a series created by Margaret Picken for a range of real estate agents in Melbourne between c.1983 and c.2005. Each work is signed and dated by the artist.Gift of Margaret Picken, 2020Pen and ink drawing on drafting film of 18 Banool Avenue, Kew by Margaret Picken.18 BANOOL AVE., KEW / MARGARET PICKEN (c) 2001 / FLETCHERS REAL ESTATEartist -- margaret picken 1950-, architectural drawings -- houses -- kew (vic.), 18 banool avenue -- kew (vic.) -
Kew Historical Society IncPhotograph - Banool Avenue, Kew, Ron Setford, 1961
... Banool Avenue -- Kew (Vic.)... -- Kew (Vic.) -- 1960s Banool Avenue -- Kew (Vic.) Nil Photograph ...Ron Setford and his wife Grace Setford lived in Tanner Avenue, East Kew, from c.1946 to c.1995. A keen photographer, he recorded the changing face of Kew over a 20 year period. Apart from 30 photographs of built structures and places in Kew dating from 1960 and 1961, 145 of his 35mm colour slides chronicle the development of the Eastern Freeway through the Yarra Valley over a five year period from c.1972 to c.1977. This important collection was donated to the Society by his granddaughter in 2025.This collection of 175 35mm slides is of local and statewide significance, owing to its subject matter, particularly the major development of road transport infrastructure during the 1970s with the construction of the Eastern Freeway. The photographer also took care to annotate and date most of his slides which enable the researcher to pinpoint temporal and spatial locations.Nilron setford, photographs -- kew (vic.) -- 1960s, banool avenue -- kew (vic.)
