Ashgrove Historical Society

The Ashgrove Historical Society meets at the Ashgrove Library on the first Saturday of the month. All meetings are bound by Queensland Government COVID-19 regulations. Bookings are essential. Please be aware you may go on a waiting list depending upon how many people are allowed in the meeting rooms. Bookings are made through the AHS secretary, Julie, by emailing her at: ahs.secretary@bigpond. com or phoning 3366 4621.

On Saturday 5 March at 10 am, Morris Moorhouse will present his research on the Devoy family residence, originally located at 53 Ashgrove Avenue, Ashgrove. The house was built in 1885 for John Devoy, son of Patrick and Annie Devoy who arrived in Brisbane in early 1865. Morris will tell the story of John Devoy’s ‘Villa Residence’, its design and layout and some of John’s life from an 8-year-old to an important member of Castlemaine Brewery.

Speakers and topics for 2022 will be posted on the society’s website and Facebook page as they come to hand. Members will be notified first via the newsletter and/or email. If you would like to become a member, please contact the secretary (see above) and she will send you a membership form and EFT details. The fees are $10 single per annum, or $15 couple/ family. Income from memberships and book sales assist the society in its aims of researching, preserving, recording and publishing Ashgrove’s history. Books can be viewed on our website and purchased at meetings or by contacting the secretary. PayPal is no longer active on the website. To protect our volunteers, our stalls outside Woolworths Ashgrove are in recess until COVID-19 infection rates are resolved.
