  Residence	* Park Terrace in Wayville * In the late 1890s, the Burns family moved to 26 Park St Unley. They named it 'Wonford', originally called 'The Olives'. It was a good move because Robert was much nearer 'The Register' office. The house stood on three and a half acres. They kept a cow. Soon after moving in, they made many improvements to the house and added a spacious verandah. Later, surrounding blocks were built on. * 'Wonford 2' - 15 Northgate St, Unley.   [2]
