    3. Good Morning Everyone, I am an the trail of details of architect Johannes Emanual LUNDHOLM, a Swedish architect who arrived in Victoria in 1886 and in 1904 (when he was naturalised) was living in Faithful St in Wangaratta. At that time he claimed to have two children, but I can only locate details of Edw Jno born 1900 at Wangaratta. He married Maud Selina Betts in Victoria in 1896, so I suspect his daughter was born at Finley/Jerilderie, plus another child who did not survive. He claimed that after arriving in September 1886 he had resided at Flynn's Creek 2 years, Bairnsdale 4 years, Numurkah 2 years, Finley 4 years (NSW), Wangaratta 5 years. Two of the buildings he was possibly associated with near Wangaratta are two poured concrete houses "Warrillah" (c1915) near Whitfield and "Mont Ara".(c1917) near Greta. No details are known of his time after Wangaratta, and I now find he and his wife may have died at Dubbo in the 1930s, and that family of the same name are around Coonamble. While I am chasing these details for the consultant doing the Wangaratta Heritage Study (ie buildings), I am wondering if anyone knows of any examples of his work. In particular, at Wangaratta he was possibly involved with very early poured concrete buildings - I wonder if anyone knows of any local examples of these he could have designed. These are sometimes made of concrete blocks poured on site, and sometimes poured into formwork. Thanks! Linda
