 DEHOM / DEHORNE, Mr [possibly J W Dehorne] and Mrs - cabinIn July 1842 G.S. Kingston was commissioned by Phillips and deHorne (or 'Horne' as he was called in the newspaper report) to design a second tower windmill at West Terrace. Designed on the grand scale, it was an impressive octagonal building upwards of 60 feet high, and built of brick. The machinery, imported from Whitmore's at Wickham Market, Suffolk, cost the princely sum of £3000. There were five floors. Given a fair breeze, the mill proved itself capable of grinding upwards of twenty bushels of wheat an hour with three pairs of stones. In 1843, Messrs Phillips and deHorne purchased Malin's windmill in South Adelaide, built the year before opposite the public cemetery in Wright Street (see above). The partners increased the size of the sails and renewed much of the machinery, purchasing a high pressure twenty horsepower steam engine as a further option. They also bought a complete set of mill machinery from Sydney for another mill. |
