Rakeevan

Historical information about the house called 'Rakeevan', situated in Graceville, Brisbane. The house was originally built for Charles Hardie Buzzacott in 1888 and was called 'Verney'. John Ferguson bought the house in 1895 as a residence for his daughter Mary Ann Ferdinando Ferguson and her husband Alfred Henry Chambers, who named it 'Rakeevan'. When they moved, John Ferguson presented the house to his second daughter, Catherine Jane Ferguson and her husband Joshua Thomas Bell. The house, after more changes of ownership and usage is now an aged care facility with the original name of 'Verney' and is heritage listed.
