Summary

Painting on coloured board of Fernhill, at Dashwood Gully, built by Commander Frederick (P.F.) Servante 1861-2. The following verse appears under the artwork: 'Fond are the memories that bring thee nigh / E'en now unto my heart I with pleasure I / Recall thy circle of dear friends, and still / Ne'er cease to think of thee with love. Fernhill'. This sketch was made by Mrs Hawkins in approximately 1884. In 1884 Mrs Henry Field was in possession of Ferntree (nee Mary Servante). Mrs Hawkins was the wife of a medical practitioner. Captain Frederick Servante (1798-1872) arrived in the "Murray" in 1861 and during 1961-62 built a home in Dashwood Gully calling it Fernhill. The name originated in Essex, England and the house and gardens offered respite from the dust and mosquitoes in the middle of the Adelaide summer.
