We live on the former Fortington property, now called Dalton Farm, not in their house. Our house was built in 1998, and sits on what was once pasture. During construction of the Dalton Farm development, a number of structures were razed, including a tavern, but the house remains. It is now called the Roosevelt House, after its last occupant, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jr. Hi, Gary.

I guess you would also be aware that the Fortington's owned and extended Dalton Farm during the 1920's and 30's? Harold was a very colourful person and involved in several interesting and, even, mysterious projects during his lifetime. If you are interested I can email details about him to you. Do you have any knowledge of when the Fortington’s lived at your address and did they build the house? If possible, I would really appreciate a couple of photographs of the house, Dalton Farm and the Fortington's (maybe Dalton Farm would have some). Gary Fortington Queensland, Australia Charles
