Wardlow, Parkville, Melbourne

Wardlow, Parkville, Melbourne, Italianate house in Parkville, Melbourne, Australia

Wardlow is a two-storey brick house built in 1888 in Parkville, Melbourne, in the boom-style Italianate architecture of the period. It is listed by the Victorian National Trust and stands beside the terrace houses at 110 and 112 Park Drive that John Boyes built in 1879.

John Boyes, a saw maker from Sheffield who ran the Boyes Brothers ironmongery business in Russell Street, built Wardlow in 1888. He had lived next door at 110 Park Drive since 1879, and the house plus three terraces behind in Degraves Street formed his family's property. His will left the six houses in trust for his widowed daughter Mary Elizabeth Booth and her children.

Wardlow takes its name from the house John Boyes built in 1888, and it stayed in his family for decades: his widowed daughter Mary Elizabeth Booth moved in with her four children around 1901, and her daughter Mary Eileen lived there until 1975. From 2001 to 2005 the house belonged to Kimberley Kitching and Andrew Landeryou, whose parties guests compared to the soirées in The Great Gatsby.

Wardlow is a private residence and is not open to the public, so it is viewed from the street. It stands at Park Drive in Parkville, next to the two 1879 terrace houses at 110 and 112 Park Drive that John Boyes also built. The house is listed on the National Trust (Victoria) heritage register.

This property served as the filming location for the exterior shots of Phryne Fisher's residence in the television series Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. The connection to the popular show has introduced the house to audiences beyond those interested in architectural history.
