It has been owned by at least two prominent Tasmanian families, a hotel owner and a Sydney-sider, and now Launceston's most expensive property is back on the market for more than $3.5 million.
The signage of Launceston's McKinlay's department store still remains in the city's Brisbane Street Mall. "The McKinlay family was a well-known, well-to-do family in Launceston and they lived there for many years from 1916 probably right through until when he [Mr McKinlay] died in 1961," Ms Sargent said.Mr McKinlay established Glenfruin's gardens, which previously stretched to what is now a car park at the northern end of the property.
An old Examiner newspaper clipping kept by Libraries Tasmania reveals at one stage in the 1980s, Launceston developer Ross Ambrose wanted to turn the home into a four-star hotel.He said the first time he visited Glenfruin was in the late 1980s when it was owned by Beth Sandors, who also owned the then neighbouring hotel.
