Excerpt from the streetsoffreo.com.au page for the Buffalo Club/Madrid Restaurant:
... In 1898, with his brother Antonio, Spanish Catalan immigrant Francisco ‘Francis’ Andinach (1871-1918) took over the Madrid Restaurant in High St, where they also ran a fruit shop. On 4 Dec 1899, both a Colonial Wine and Eating and a Boarding House Licence were issued to the Andinach Brothers. The dining room could seat 100 people and the 55 rooms above were run as boarding rooms for bachelors.
With this security, In 1900, Francis travelleled back to Spain to marry his cousin Josefina ‘Josefa’ Duran (1880-1972 - right) and she travelled back to join him in working in the Madrid, where she also bore 11 children (4 stillborn).
