caption_attribution_description: English: Witton House, in the grounds of Tighnabruaich, a residence in Indooroopilly, ca. 1932. Herbert Brealey Hemming, a solicitor with a distinguished Brisbane legal practice, purchased Tighnabruaich, in 1904. Witton Manor, another house owned by Hemming, was moved between 1916 and 1919 to the grounds of Tighnabruaich from its original site further upstream at Indooroopilly and renamed Witton House.
context_page_description: Tighnabruaich is a heritage-listed villa at 203 Clarence Road, Indooroopilly, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Francis Drummond Greville Stanley and built around 1889. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 7 February 2005.
context_section_description: Mr. Hemming's impressive property portfolio included another house, Witton Manor, which was also located in Indooroopilly, though further 
  upstream. The grounds of Witton Manor became, for many years, the junior school of St Joseph's College but are now the site of Ambrose Treacy College.
  Between 1916 and 1919, Witton Manor was moved – the detail of the not-inconsiderable enterprise is sadly missing – from its original site and onto the extensive grounds of Tighnabruaich. It was positioned in the south west corner of the park, facing the river, and was renamed Witton House. Hemming himself then resided at Witton House from at least 1919 until around 1938. Witton House was eventually demolished in 1967.
  Following Hemming's death on 8 March 1942, the Tighnabruaich properties were administered by Queensland Trustees Limited on behalf of the Hemming estate.
