Friendville was built for Robert Balmanno in 1773 in the area of land known at
the time as Balmanno's Field which was acquired a year early by Balmanno from
the Rubislaw Estate and cultivated as farmland. Friendville was built at the
edge of this land as a private residence for Balmanno where he stayed until
1798, when the house was purchased by Arthur Dingwall Fordyce. In the period
between 1798 and 1952 Friendville changed hands a number of times but always
remained a residential property, during this time large areas of the house
were neglected and were allowed to deteriorate, particularly the grounds and
the gardens of Friendville which became an eyesore in the affluent Mannofield
neighborhood. In 1952 the estate was purchased by William Bell a well known
antiques dealer in Aberdeen who undertook a project to restore Friendville.
Under the guidance of architect Fenton Wynness, the house and grounds were
renovated in an attempt to bring the house back to its original standard
whilst maintaining the Georgian architecture and Victorian interior.
