Duryea, Townsend, c. 1864, Photograph, B 6155
Philip Levi, early settler and pastoralist of South Australia. He was an influential businessman, ran sheep and cattle and was one of the founders of the Adelaide Club. He purchased Vale House, now in the suburb of Vale Park and also lived in Mitcham. He had a common law wife. The 'Advertiser' of 25 May 1898 noted that "by an inadvertence it was stated that the late Mr Philip Levi died unmarried. This is incorrect." He had eleven children. The family lived in Mitcham and Vale Park. He was buried in the Jewish section of West Terrace Cemetery.
