Charles Atkins Hornabrook (c.1833 – 26 August 1903) was a businessman in the colony of South Australia who made a fortune from property development in the city of Adelaide and investments in Broken Hill Proprietary and other mining prospects.
The third John Bray (c. 1812 – 1 March 1868), who arrived aboard Hartley in October 1837 and died at residence, Pulteney Street[4] is a likely candidate.
[5] In 1863 the first major improvement was commissioned: a separate building adjacent on Rundle Street with seven bedrooms with balconies projecting over the footpath, and a bathroom.
In 1868 he had Charles Farr pull down the old portion of the York Hotel, and in its place build a new "pile" designed by Daniel Garlick.
[10] In 1874 he commissioned Farr to build the imposing residence "Dunheved House" later "Kalymna" (architect Thomas English),[14] which still stands at 28 Dequetteville Terrace, Kent Town.
[15] A large collection of their furnishings and household goods was sold by auction in 1879 prior to leaving, with their six youngest children, on a trip to England by the clipper Hesperus, sharing the saloon with the Rischbieth family.
[18] In 1891 he had a new residence built at the south corner of East Terrace and Gilles Street, designed by George Klewitz Soward, naming it "Eöthen".
[23] John Mitcham Hornabrook (c. 1812–1862) married the widow Sarah Attwood, née Shephard (c. 1811–1902) on 23 November 1847.
