It's not so much the architecture that is interesting, although that's what attracted me in the first place, but the story that goes with it, and I can't relate all the history in detail. However, this house was transported to Australia from America and reassembled. I don't know why such such a big operation was undertaken.
Since I took this shot the house has been renovated. However, it overlooks the Avoca River and that was one of the rivers which flooded in January and I suspect that it may have caught up with this property. I haven't been there to find out.
We have similar Victorian houses in our little area of Colorado. The kids call them gingerbread houses because the trim is often painted different colors - at least around here. What an amazing story. I hope the house survived the flooding...
Thank you for sharing - both the image and the story... if only those walls could talk!!
This reminds me of a house we would see in the southern states of the US. And then I read your comments, I wonder what part of the US it came from. Quite the journey for this home.
