Maltese immigrant’s home honoured
The former family home of a highly successful Maltese immigrant, located on the Cairns Esplanade, has been entered in the Queensland Heritage Register.
Floriana, a two-storeyed brick and timber house overlooking Trinity Inlet, was constructed in 1939 as the city residence of Paul and Paulina Zammit and their family.
Queensland Heritage Council Chair David Eades said Paul Zammit, who migrated from Malta in 1912, was one of the most successful sugarcane farmers in North Queensland with a property near Bartle Frere serving the South Johnstone Central Mill.
"Floriana tells the story of one migrant couple's aspirations to succeed in their adopted society without losing sight of their traditional cultural values," Mr Eades said.
"It reminds us of the contribution that Europeans have made to the evolution of Queensland as a multi-cultural society."
For their city residence, the Zammits chose a site in the best residential street in Cairns and then employed a Sydney architect to design the house, naming it Floriana after a portside village in Malta.
"The design of Floriana was significant with a number of traditional Maltese housing elements incorporated within a typical modern Queensland home of its era," Mr Eades said.
"The house announced the Zammit family's success in Queensland to both the local community and potential Maltese immigrants."
Paul and Paulina Zammit had 10 children who were all talented musicians skilled at playing a variety of instruments.
"The family regularly entertained top visiting US and Australian Army Showbands and hosted many social and fundraising events in Floriana's ground floor ballroom during the war years," Mr Eades said.
Once established in Queensland, Zammit used his growing prosperity to support numerous migrants from Italy and Malta and his community efforts were recognised widely.
Both during and after the war Paul Zammit continued to run the cane farm at Bartle Frere.
In 1947 Zammit personally funded the construction of a small concrete church at Bartle Frere, the Church of St Paul.
"The concrete blocks for the church were made on Zammit's farm by his canecutters during the off-season," Mr Eades said.
"This act of generosity towards the Catholic Church was recognised by Pope Pius XII in January 1948 when he awarded Paul Zammit with the Bene Merenti medal. He was the first person in Queensland to receive this award."
The Queensland Heritage Council is the state's independent peak body and advisor on heritage matters and determines what places are entered in the Queensland Heritage Register.
Places that are entered in the Heritage Register are considered of importance to Queensland's history and are protected under heritage legislation.
