F.W.R. Lill - builder, South Australia & lawn bowler

My grandfather as a young man. Possibly his marriage photo.
F.W.R. Lill of Maylands, South Australia. He married Florence Dulcie Nation from Murray Bridge. I lived with him in his house in Grange until he died when I was 14. A very interesting man. He is a life member of Grange Bowling Club. He built public buildings - including Tailem Bend Railway Station, and Strathalbyn Post Office (1913). He also built houses in Grange. I was told he built 536 (was 620) Seaview Rd, and house one over for his brother Angus (Cuthbert) Lill.
