' ,,i'' ' HISTORY I• i The first owner of this house was Frank Makin, a sharebroker, who lived there for five years, selling the property in 1888 to George Riddoch. In 1897 Frank Rymill and his family lived at 'Coreega' while additions were made to their own home 'Springfield. House', situated to the north-east. In 1906 it was sold to Joseph Florey, the Director of the Standard Boot and Shoe Company in Gawler Place. Joseph and Bertha Florey lived at 'Coreega' for nearly 13 years, their son Howard Walter being eight years old '· when they moved into the house. Howard Florey was educated at St Peter's College and the University • of Adelaide. In 1921 he entered Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. He studied in England and America in the 1920s and became Professor of Pathology at Sheffield University from 1931 for four years. In 1935 he was appointed Professor of Pathology at Oxford. Florey was knighted in 1944 and in 1945 shared the Nobel Prize with Dr Ernst· Chain for his part in developing the first antibiotic, penicillin, from a mould discovered by Sir Alexander Fleming in 1928. As a result of this work, pharmaceutical houses were able to manufacture penicillin in quantity during the latter stages of the Second World War. When Joseph Florey died in September 1918 his widow continued living at 'Coreega' for a year before selling the property to Mrs Antonie Wells and Mrs Rosa Stump. It was passed on to Mrs Stump's daughter Rosalind, the first wife of Mr Clifford Cornell. In October 1951, 'Coreega' became the joint property of Clifford Cornell and his second wife Mollie. Extensive subdivision was carried out during the next decade with Coreega Avenue being created as an access to the new blocks. STATEMENT OF HERITAGE VALUE Built in 1882-83 for Mr Frank Makin.
